Magnetowave induced plasma wakefield acceleration (MPWA) in a relativistic astrophysical outflow has been proposed as a viable mechanism for the acceleration of cosmic particles to ultra high energies. In this paper we present the relativistic MPWA theory and confirm such a concept via the plasma simulation. Invoking Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) as the site, we show that MPWA production of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) beyond ZeV (1021 eV) is possible.
