In this paper we investigate optimal"channels" of the Garvey-Kelson relations in extrapolation to the unknown regions, and tabulate our predicted masses by using these optimized channels of the Garvey-Kelson relations.展开更多

It is found that highest energy Auger steepening does not agree with GZK cutoff, which is most probably explained by the nuclei mass composition detected by Auger. At present the difference in mass composition in Auger and HiRes/TA data remains the main unsolved problem of UHECR origin.展开更多
