Astrophysics at ultra-high energies : International School of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics, 15th course, Erice, Italy, 20-27 June 2006 /

This book introduces young researchers to the exciting field of ultra-high energy astrophysics including charged particles, gamma rays and neutrinos. At ultra-high energy the radiation is produced by interactions of cosmic ray particles accelerated in explosive events such as supernovae or hypernova...
