✦ Synopsis

We give a brief (and highly incomplete) overview of the current experimental and theoretical status of high energy cosmic rays and their secondary γ-rays and neutrinos. We focus on the role of large scale magnetic fields and on multi-messenger aspects linking these three channels. We also recall that the flavor composition of neutrino fluxes from astrophysical sources contains information on both the source conditions and neutrino physics.
