Review on extragalactic cosmic rays detection
High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena

Abstract
The understanding of the nature of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays is one of the most intriguing open questions for current and future observatories. These particles are expected to be accelerated in extragalactic sources. Because of their low flux, their detection is done indirectly observing extensive air-showers, with ground-based experiments. A review of the detection technique and the most recent results is presented with a look to the perspectives for the future.
