Particle Candidates of Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays
We discuss candidates for trans-GZK cosmic rays observed in a variety of detectors. Three types of primaries are represented among the abstracts submitted to this meeting: neutrinos causing a Z-burst, protons arising from the decay of ultra-heavy metastable particles and neutrinos within the framework of low scale string-like models of unification. We attempt to evaluate the relative merits of ...

متن کاملParticle and Astrophysics Aspects of Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays
The origin of cosmic rays is one of the major unresolved astrophysical questions. In particular, the highest energy cosmic rays observed possess macroscopic energies and their origin is likely to be associated with the most energetic processes in the Universe. Their existence triggered a flurry of theoretical explanations ranging from conventional shock acceleration to particle physics beyond t...
متن کاملUltrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays Detection
The paper describes methods used for the detection of cosmic rays with energies above 1018 eV (UHECR, UltraHigh Energy Cosmic Rays). It had been anticipated there would be a cutoff in the energy spectrum of primary cosmic rays around 3·1019 eV induced by their interaction with the 2.7 K primordial photons. This has become known as the GZK cutoff. However, several showers have been detected with...
