Descripción
The origin of the ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) with energies above E > 1017 eV, is still unknown. The discovery of their sources will reveal the engines of the most energetic astrophysical accelerators in the universe. This is a written version of a series of lectures devoted to UHECR at the 2013 CERN-Latin-American School of High-Energy Physics. We present an intro- duction to acceleration mechanisms of charged particles to the highest ener- gies in astrophysical objects, their propagation from the sources to Earth, and the experimental techniques for their detection. We also discuss some of the relevant observational results from Telescope Array and Pierre Auger Obser- vatory. These experiments deal with particle interactions at energies orders of magnitude higher than achieved in terrestrial accelerators.
