How, where and when do cosmic rays reach ultrahigh energies?
Understanding the origins of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) -- which reach energies in excess of 1020 eV -- stretches particle acceleration physics to its very limits. In this review, we discuss how such energies can be reached, using general arguments that can often be derived on the back o...
