Description
A general review on the propagation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) in astrophysical backgrounds will be presented, with particular emphasis on the comparison among theoretical models and recent observations by the Pierre Auger Observatory. In particular, the observed spectrum and chemical composition of UHECR will be discussed in connection with the theoretical aspects of the propagation of these extremely energetic particles.
