Description

The detection of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) allows the study of fundamental physics such as possible modifications of Lorentz Invariance at extreme boosts. I review the constraints of LIVs in the Cosmic Ray sector in the light of the high quality experimental data on UHECRs presently available.
