Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays

Astrophysics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

Cosmic rays with energies above 101810^{18} eV are currently of considerable interest in astrophysics and are to be further studied in a number of projects which are either currently under construction or the subject of well-developed proposals. This paper aims to discuss some of the physics of such particles in terms of current knowledge and information from particle astrophysics at other energies.
