Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays and the Highest Energies Universe [HEAP]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1905.08250


We will discuss the main relevant aspects of the physics of ultra high energy cosmic rays. After a short recap of the experimental evidences, we will review theoretical models aiming at describing the sources of these extremely energetic particles opening a window on the highest energies universe. We will discuss the production of secondary particles and the possible tests of new physics that ultra high energy cosmic rays could provide.
