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 …

Extragalactic propagation of ultrahigh energy cosmic-rays

D Allard - Astroparticle Physics, 2012 - Elsevier
In this paper we review the extragalactic propagation of ultrahigh energy cosmic-ray
(UHECR). We present the different energy loss processes of protons and nuclei, and their …

Implications to sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays from their arrival distribution

H Takami, K Sato - Astroparticle Physics, 2009 - Elsevier
We estimate the local number density of sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs)
based on the statistical features of their arrival direction distribution. We calculate the arrival …

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 …

Observations and implications of the ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays

M Nagano, AA Watson - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2000 - APS
The authors define “ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays”(UHECRs) as those cosmic rays with
energies above 10 18 eV. It had been anticipated that there would be a cutoff in the energy …

Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays and neutrinos

AV Olinto, K Kotera, D Allard - Nuclear Physics B-Proceedings …, 2011 - Elsevier
The observation of neutrinos from cosmic accelerators will be revolutionary. High energy
neutrinos are closely connected to ultrahigh energy cosmic rays and their sources. Cosmic …

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 …

Cosmic rays: the Second Knee and beyond

DR Bergman, JW Belz - Journal of Physics G: nuclear and particle …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We conduct a review of experimental results on ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs)
including measurements of the features of the spectrum, the composition of the primary …

The small scale anisotropies, the spectrum and the sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays

P Blasi, D De Marco - Astroparticle Physics, 2004 - Elsevier
We calculate the number density and luminosity of the sources of ultra-high energy cosmic
rays (UHECRs), using the information about the small scale anisotropies and the observed …

Reconciling the ultra-high energy cosmic ray spectrum with Fermi shock acceleration

M Kachelriess, DV Semikoz - Physics Letters B, 2006 - Elsevier
The energy spectrum of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) is usually calculated for
sources with identical properties. Assuming that all sources can accelerate UHECR protons …
