Surprises from extragalactic propagation of UHECRs [HEAP]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1512.02314


Ultra-high energy cosmic ray experimental data are now of very good statistical significance even in the region of the expected GZK feature. The identification of their sources requires sophisticate analysis of their propagation in the extragalactic space. When looking at the details of this propagation some unforeseen features emerge. We will discuss some of these “surprises”.
