On the disintegration of cosmic ray nuclei by solar photons
Luis N. Epele, Silvia Mollerach, Esteban Roulet
We discuss in detail the possibility of observing pairs of simultaneous parallel air showers produced by the fragments of cosmic ray nuclei which disintegrated in collisions with s…

On the propagation of the highest energy cosmic ray nuclei
Luis N. Epele, Esteban Roulet
We study the propagation of ultra-high energy cosmic ray nuclei through the background of cosmic microwave and intergalactic infrared photons, using recent re-estimates for the den…

Comment on "On the Origin of the Highest Energy Cosmic Rays"
Luis N. Epele, Esteban Roulet
We show that the photodisintegration of heavy cosmic ray nuclei with energies above 10^20 eV is dominated by interactions with photons from the cosmic microwave background radiatio…
