2 Absorption of Gamma - Rays by Photon Photon Pair
We determine the physical parameters (magnetic field and Doppler factor) of the homogeneous synchrotron self-Compton model allowed by the observed X–ray to gamma-ray spectra and variability of Markarian 501 during the 15–16 April 1997 flaring activity. We find that magnetic fields between 0.07 G and 0.6 G and Doppler factors between 12 and 36 could fit (depending on observed variability time sc...
متن کاملPhoton-photon Absorption of Very High Energy Gamma Rays from Microquasars: Application to Ls 5039
Very high energy (VHE) γ-rays have recently been detected from the Galactic black-hole candidate and microquasar LS 5039. A plausible site for the production of these VHE γ-rays is the mildly relativistic outflow close to the base of the jet. However, at distances comparable to the binary separation, the intense photon field of the stellar companion will lead to substantial γγ absorption of VHE...
متن کاملExtragalactic Absorption of High Energy Gamma-Rays
The pair-production absorption of high-energy -rays by intergalactic low-energy photons is expected to produce a high-energy cuto in the spectra of sources which is a sensitive function of redshift. We rst discuss the expected absorption coe cient as a function of energy and redshift derived by Stecker and De Jager by making use of a new empirically based calculation of the spectral energy dist...
متن کاملHigh energy photon interactions at the LHC
Experimental prospects for studying high-energy photon-photon and photon-proton interactions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (lhc) are discussed. Cross sections are calculated for many electroweak and beyond the Standard Model processes. Selection strategies based on photon interaction tagging techniques are studied. Assuming a typical lhc multipurpose detector, various signals and their irre...
متن کاملPhoton energy upconversion in porphyrins: one-photon hot-band absorption versus two-photon absorption
We study the porphyrin S1 ! S0 fluorescence and the photosensitized singlet oxygen Dg ! Rg phosphorescence, both originating from absorption of photons with energy less than the porphyrin S0 ! S1 transition energy. By measuring the excitation intensity dependence of fluorescence at lowered sample temperatures, we are able to discriminate between two parallel processes of one-photon hot-band abs...
