Theoretical speculations range from electromagnetic acceleration in some unknown astrophysical source to as yet undiscovered particle physics beyond the Standard Model. These speculations have also lead to the development of new detection concepts and experimental projects, some of which are currently under construction. The present volume consists of a self-contained set of lectures which cover most of these aspects: from the speculative origins and the acceleration and propagation mechanisms to a discussion of the detection techniques. It emphasizes the strong interdisciplinarity of this topic and highlights the many open questions. This volume is intended for students entering this field and for professional astronomers and particle and theoretical physicists. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v576 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString models 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aParticle and Nuclear Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23002 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString models. 615 14$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aParticle and Nuclear Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 676 $a539.7/223 702 $aLemoine$b M$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSigl$b G$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 12$aInternational School on Physics and Astrophysics of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays$f(2000 :$eObservatoire de Paris-Meudon) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139821903321 996 $aPhysics and astrophysics of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays$9972184 997 $aUNINA
