Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays from Decaying Superheavy Particles

Decaying superheavy particles can be produced by Topological Defects or, in case they are quasistable, as relics from the early Universe. The decays of these particles can be the sources of observed Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (E ∼ 10 − 10 GeV ). The Topological Defects as the UHE CR sources are critically reviewed and cosmic necklaces and monopole-antiminopole pairs are identified as most plausible sources. The relic superheavy particles are shown to be clustering in the halo and their decays produce UHE CR without GZK cutoff. The Lightest Supersymmetric Particles with Ultra High Energies are naturally produced in the cascades accompanying the decays of superheavy particles. These particles are discussed as UHE carriers in the Universe.
