In this talk, we will review multi-messenger capabilities of the Pierre Auger Observatory involving searches for high energy neutrinos and photons from transient events as well as searches for temporal and/or directional correlations between different messengers including UHECR. Upper bounds on the flux of up-going air showers - of the type that was reported by ANITA - will be presented and...

Investigations of the energy spectrum as well as the mass composition of cosmic rays in the energy range of PeV to EeV are important for understanding both, the origin of the galactic and the extragalactic cosmic rays. The multi-detector arrangement of KASCADE and its extension KASCADE-Grande was designed for observations of cosmic ray air showers in this energy range. Most important result...

We discuss the acceleration and escape of secondary cosmic-ray (CR) nuclei, such as lithium, beryllium, and boron, produced by spallation of primary CR nuclei like carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen accelerated at the shock in supernova remnants (SNRs) surrounded by the interstellar medium (ISM) or a circumstellar medium (CSM). We take into account the energy-dependent escape of CR particles from...
