Cosmic Accelerators: The Possible Sources of Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Rays and Neutrinos

ABSTRACT: I briefly review recent Auger results and the likely astrophysical sources responsible, such as gamma-ray bursts, active galactic nuclei, magnetars and hypernoave. I then discuss the secondary GeV-TeV gamma-ray and neutrino signatures of these sources, and the prospects for detecting them.
