The universe is pervaded by particles with extreme energies,
millions of times greater than we can produce on Earth. They have
been a mystery for over a century. Now, current and future
experiments in particle astrophysics are leading us to answers to
the most fundamental questions about them. How does nature
accelerate the highest energy particles in the universe? Do new
interactions between them occur at such extreme energies? Are there
unknown aspects of spacetime that can be uncovered by studying
these particles?This book brings together three fields within
'extreme astronomy': ultra-high-energy cosmic ray physics, neutrino
astronomy, and gamma-ray astronomy, and discusses how each can help
answer these questions. Each field is presented with a theoretical
introduction that clearly elucidates the key questions scientists
face. This is followed by chapters that discuss the current set of
experiments - how they work and their discoveries. Finally, new
techniques and approaches are discussed to solve the mysteries
uncovered by the current experiments.
