Description

The Galaxy hosts sources of cosmic rays up to PeV energies, so called PeVatrons. Gamma-rays at the highest energies turn out to be the most effective tracer of the highest energies cosmic rays in the Galaxy. I will here review current searches for the sources of the highest energy cosmic rays. I will also present prospectives for future gamma-ray observatories.
