On Ultra-High Rigidity Cosmic Rays

Abstract: This paper argues that the observation of anisotropies in the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energy ≳ 5 × 10 19 eV strongly supports the existence of protons at these energies. This paper then discusses the possible source of such protons, placing emphasis on acceleration in relativistic collisionless shock waves.
