We propose a novel model to produce ultrahigh-energy cosmic-rays (UHECRs) in gamma-ray burst jets. After the prompt gamma-ray emission, hydrodynamical turbulence is excited in the GRB jets at or before the afterglow phase. The mildly…

We present a model of ultra-high-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) production in the shock-accelerated fireball of a gamma-ray burst. In addition to the standard UHECR origin from neutron escape and decay into protons, our model considers direct…

We argue that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) may be the origin of the cosmic gamma-ray background radiation observed in GeV range. It has theoretically been discussed that protons may carry a much larger amount of energy than electrons in GRBs,…
