(UHECR). We present the different energy loss processes of protons and nuclei, and their …

Neutrinos: the key to ultrahigh energy cosmic rays

D Seckel, T Stanev - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
Observations of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR) do not uniquely determine both the
injection spectrum and the evolution model for UHECR sources—primarily because …

Constraints on the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays from cosmogenic neutrinos and photons

G Decerprit, D Allard - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2011 - aanda.org
We study the production of cosmogenic neutrinos and photons during the extragalactic
propagation of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). For a wide range of models in …

Implications of gamma-ray observations on proton models of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays

AD Supanitsky - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
The origin of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR) is still unknown. However, great
progress has been achieved in past years due to the good quality and large statistics in …

Ultra high energy cosmic rays: The disappointing model

R Aloisio, V Berezinsky, A Gazizov - Astroparticle Physics, 2011 - Elsevier
We develop a model for explaining the data of Pierre Auger Observatory (Auger) for ultra
high energy cosmic rays (UHECR), in particular, the mass composition being steadily …

On astrophysical solution to ultrahigh energy cosmic rays

V Berezinsky, A Gazizov, S Grigorieva - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2006 - APS
We argue that an astrophysical solution to the ultrahigh energy cosmic ray (UHECR)
problem is viable. The detailed study of UHECR energy spectra is performed. The spectral …

The imprint of large-scale structure on the ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray sky

C Ding, N Globus, GR Farrar - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are atomic nuclei from space with vastly higher
energies than any other particles ever observed. Their origin and chemical composition …
