✦ Synopsis
In light of the mounting evidence that the highest energy cosmic rays are dominated by protons and not gammarays, we discuss the prospect that these cosmic rays are generated in the decay or annihilation of superheavy relic particles. We calculate the high energy neutrino spectrum which results and normalize our results to the ultrahigh energy cosmic ray spectrum. We show that most sceneries are already constrained by present limits placed by the AMANDA experiment.
