Other cosmic messengers: cosmic rays
Talk
The physics of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) will be reviewed with a particular focus on the (possible) experimental tests of new theories. We will discuss: top-down models for the production of these extreme energetic particles and tests of the Lorentz invariance.

Other cosmic messengers: cosmic rays
Talk
In the last decade a wealth of direct CR measurements has been performed by space based experiments leading to unexpected results and bringing this field of research in the "precision era" up to the TeV energy scale. New missions have just started their operation, or are close to launch, and will extend of 1-2 decades in energy the study of the CR composition and energy spectra. Current...

Other cosmic messengers: cosmic rays
Talk
This report aims at giving a brief summary of the most recent results from air shower observations and discussing their relevance in the understanding of the origin, acceleration and propagation of the high energy cosmic rays.
The shape and composition of the primary spectrum as well as the large-scale anisotropy in the arrival direction of cosmic rays are key elements to understand their...
