Abstract
Résumé

The status of solutions to the ultra-high energy cosmic ray puzzle that involve particle physics beyond the standard model is reviewed. Signatures and experimental constraints are discussed for most proposals such as the Z burst model and topological defects (both allowed only as subdominant contributions), supermassive dark matter (no positive evidence from its key signatures galactic anisotropy and photon dominance), strongly interacting neutrinos or new primaries (no viable models known), and violation of Lorentz invariance (viable).

Nous présentons une revue des solutions proposées en réponse à l'énigme des rayons cosmiques ultra-énergétiques, faisant intervenir la physique des particules au-delà du Modèle Standard. Nous résumons les signatures et les contraintes expérimentales pour la plupart de ces modèles tels que : la désintégration du Z et les défauts topologiques (tous deux envisageables seulement en tant que modèles sub-dominants), matière noire supermassive (qu'aucune indication, telle l'anisotropie galactique et production dominante de photons, ne favorise), les neutrinos à interaction forte ou des particules nouvelles (pas de modèles viables connus), et la violation de l'invariance de Lorentz (viable).
