1. Origin and role of relativistic cosmic particlesA. Araudo, G. Morlino, B. Olmi, Fabio Acero, I. Agudo, Rémi Adam, Rafael Alves Batista, E. Amato, E. O. Angüner, Serguei Vorobiov, 2021, other component parts Abstract: This white paper briefly summarizes the importance of the study of relativistic cosmic rays, both as a constituent of our Universe, and through their impact on stellar and galactic evolution. The focus is on what can be learned over the coming decade through ground-based gamma-ray observations over the 20 GeV to 300 TeV range. Submitted as input to ASTRONET Science Vision and Infrastructure roadmap on behalf of the CTA consortium.

2. Science with the Global Cosmic-ray Observatory (GCOS)Rafael Alves Batista, M. Ahlers, Pedro Assis, Markus Gottfried Battisti, J. A. Bellido, S. Bhatnagar, K. Bismark, Teresa Bister, Martina Boháčová, Serguei Vorobiov, 2023, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: The Global Cosmic-ray Observatory (GCOS) is a proposed large-scale observatory for studying
ultra-high-energy cosmic particles, including ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), photons,
and neutrinos. Its primary goal is to characterise the properties of the highest-energy particles in
Nature with unprecedented accuracy, and to identify their elusive sources. With an aperture at least a ten-fold larger than existing observatories, this next-generation facility should start operating after 2030, when present-day detectors will gradually cease their activities. Here we briefly review the scientific case motivating GCOS. We present the status of the project, preliminary ideas for its design, and some estimates of its capabilities.
