Cosmic rays, year zero! 104 ■ Historical opening of a non-photonic astronomy! ◆ ◆ Eventually: identification and study of individual sources Necessary to increase collecting power at the highest energies Auger Nord (Lamar, Colorado) (sources are there: letʼs go and get them!) Shower detection from space (JEM-EUSO, S-EUSO…) ■ Many questions ◆ ◆ sources, CR origin, acceleration mechanisms, behaviour of energetic sources in the universe, link with low-energy CRs and galactic ecology study of high-energy physics (LHC results are awaited!) Paris, 9 th June 2008 — IDAPPʼs two days 2008 — E. Parizot (APC / Univ. Paris 7)
Galactic/Extragalactic transition 105 ■ Fixed by flux rather than confinement? low-energy CRs are confined in galaxies ⇒ enhanced flux high-energy CRs fill the intergalactic medium ■ Transition occurs when EGCR flux ≥ GCR flux extragalactic Galactic Paris, 9 th June 2008 — IDAPPʼs two days 2008 — E. Parizot (APC / Univ. Paris 7)
