Abstract

Ultra-high energy cosmic rays are the most extreme energetic particles detected on Earth, ho we ver, their acceleration sites are still mysterious. We explore the contribution of low-luminosity gamma-ray bursts to the ultra-high energy cosmic ray flux, since they form the bulk of the nearby population. We analyse a representative sample of these bursts detected by BeppoSAX , INTEGRAL , and Swift between 1998-2016, and found that in order to reconcile our theoretical flux with the observed flux, these bursts should accelerate at most 10 -13 M⊙of ultra-high energy cosmic rays.
