Ultra high energy cosmic rays: A review

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2010-11-09 v1

Abstract

We present the main results on the energy spectrum and composition of the highest energy cosmic rays of energy exceeding 1018^{18} eV obtained by the High Resolution Fly's Eye and the Southern Auger Observatory. The current results are somewhat contradictory and raise interesting questions about the origin and character of these particles.
