AGN jets as the origin of UHECRs and perspectives for the detection of astrophysical source neutrinos at EeV energies

Xavier Rodrigues, Jonas Heinze, Andrea Palladino +2

We demonstrate that a population of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can describe the observed spectrum of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) at and above the ankle, and that the d…
