Status and perspective of CRPropa — •Jörg Kulbartz — II. Institut für theoretische Physik, Universität Hamburg, Luruper Chaussee 149, D-22761 Hamburg, Germany

To understand the origin of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), it is required to model their propagation through the universe in a realistic way, including inhomogeneous distribution of sources and effects of large scale cosmic magnetic fields. For this purpose the publicly-available numerical package CRPropa was developed. We present in this talk some recent simulations as well as highlight some of the ongoing development.
