Abstract

We discuss a scenario in which the highest energy cosmic rays (CR's) and cosmological $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray bursts (GRB's) have a common origin. This scenario is consistent with the observed CR flux above 1${0}^{20}$ eV, provided that each burst produces similar energies in $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ rays and in CR's above 1${0}^{20}$ eV. Protons may be accelerated by Fermi's mechanism to energies $\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{20}\mathrm{eV}$ in a dissipative, ultrarelativistic wind, with luminosity and Lorentz factor high enough to produce a GRB. For a homogeneous GRB distribution, this scenario predicts an isotropic, time-independent CR flux.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
