Scientific paper

We here investigate the possibility that the ultra-high energy cosmic ray
(UHECR) events observed above the GZK limit are mostly protons accelerated in
econnection sites just above the magnetosphere of newborn millisecond pulsars
which are originated by accretion induced collapse (AIC).
