Superstring Relics, Supersymmetric Fragmentation and Uhecr
Abstract
Superstring theory predicts the existence of relic metastable particles whose average lifetime is longer than the age of the universe and which could, in principle, be good dark matter candidates. At the same time, these states would be responsible for the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) events which will be searched for by various experimental collaborations in the near future. We describe a possible phenomenological path which could be followed in order to search for new physics in their detection.
