The International School on Physics and Astrophysics of Ultra High
Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR2000) was held at the Observatoire de
Paris-Meudon on June 26-29, 2000. This was the ?rst international
school speci?cally dedicated to ultra high energy cosmic rays. Its
aim was to familiarize with and attract students, physicists and
astronomers into this quickly developing newresearch ?eld. The
mysterious and currently unknown origin of the most energetic par-
cles observed in Nature has triggered in recent years theoretical
speculations ranging from electromagnetic acceleration to as yet
undiscovered physics - yond the Standard Model. It has also lead to
the development of several new detection concepts and experimental
projects, some of which are currently - der construction. By its
nature, the ?eld of ultra high energy cosmic rays is therefore
highly interdisciplinary and borrows from astrophysics and
cosmology, via particle physics, to experimental physics and
observational astronomy. One main aspect of the school was to
emphasize and take advantage of this interd- ciplinarity. The
lectures were grouped into subtopics and are reproduced in this
volume in the following order: After a general introductory lecture
on cosmic rays follow two contributions on experimental detection
techniques, followed by three lectures on acceleration in
astrophysical objects. The next four contri- tions cover all major
aspects of propagation and interactions of ultra high energy
radiation, including speculative issues such as newinteractions.
