When do you expect the ultrahigh energy cosmic ray mystery to be solved? Who is your hero in this field?... and other questions answered by a set of MACROS participants. Interviews conducted by Ke Fang and Foteini Oikonomou.


Are we sure that Galactic cosmic rays come from supernova remnants? What are the unanswered questions about Galactic cosmic rays? Damiano Caprioli & Stefano Gabici


What are blazars and what fundamental questions can we study through them? Do ultrahigh energy cosmic rays tell us something unique about their sources? Susumu Inoue & Andrew Taylor


What are gamma-rays and neutrinos? How are they created and how are they detected? Markus Ahlers & Vasiliki Pavlidou


How can we make progress in understanding the mass composition of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays? Tanguy Pierog & Yuichiro Tameda


What are the questions that current experiments may be able to answer? What are the major difficulties for current detectors? Martina Bohacova, Ioana Maris, Christopher Williams

Erratum on the numbers [I. Maris]: 30.000 km2 instead of 30 km2, and 10 EeV instead of 50 EeV.
