Abstract

Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) can originate from extragalactic sources as Active Galactic Nuclei. We propose a mechanism to calculate bounds on the upper limits of the AGN luminosity fraction that can be converted into UHECRs. This result comes from the mechanism powered by central black holes to produce the AGN luminosity and observation of UHECRs and gamma-rays from experiments to reconstruct proton and iron luminosities of a given AGN source.
