UHECRS, very high energy protons and charged nuclei, occasionally arrive on Earth, where they are detected by cosmic ray detectors such as the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina.

Higher energy particles — such as those from the nuclei of heavy elements like iron — are rarer than common, lower - energy particles such as protons.
