Common extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics predict the existence of a "hidden" sector that comprises particles with a vanishing or very weak coupling to particles of the Standard Model (visible sector). For very light (m <…
``Top--down'' models explain the observation of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR; $E \gsim 5 \cdot 10^{19}$ eV) through the decay of very massive, long--lived ``$X$ particles''. If superparticles with masses near a TeV exist, $X$ decays…
