High Energy Cosmic Ray Interactions – an Overview
The status of present theoretical description of very high energy hadronic interactions is reviewed. The impact of new results of accelerator and cosmic ray experiments on hadronic interaction model constructions is discussed in detail. Special attention is payed to remaining uncertainties in model extrapolations into the ultra-high energy domain, in particular, concerning model predictions for...
متن کاملUltra High Energy Cosmic Ray Accelerators
The surprising lack of a high energy cutoff in the cosmic ray spectrum at the highest energies together with an apparently isotropic distribution of arrival directions have strongly challenged most models proposed for the acceleration of ultra high energy cosmic rays. Young neutron star winds may be able to explain the mystery. We discuss this recent proposal after summarizing the observational...
متن کاملUltra High-Energy Cosmic Ray Observations
The year 2007 has furnished us with outstanding results about the origin of the most energetic cosmic rays: a flux suppression as expected from the GZK-effect has been observed in the data of the HiRes and Auger experiments and correlations between the positions of nearby AGN and the arrival directions of trans-GZK events have been observed by the Pierre Auger Observatory. The latter finding ma...
متن کاملExploring the High-Energy Cosmic Ray Spectrum with a Toy Model of Cosmic Ray Diffusion
We introduce a static toy model of the cosmic ray (CR) universe in which cosmic ray propagation is taken to be diffusive and cosmic ray sources are distributed randomly with a density the same as that of local L∗ galaxies, 5 × 10 −3 Mpc. These sources “fire” at random times through the history of the universe but with a set expectation time for the period between bursts. Our toy model model cap...
متن کاملEvidence for a high-energy cosmic-ray spectrum cutoff.
© 1985 The American Physical Society 1875 In 1966, Roll and Wilkinson reported the first confirmation that the intense isotropic radiation observed earlier by Penzias and Wilson 2 was thermal in nature and all pervasive, characteristic of a universe cooled to a temperature of 2.7 K. Given the previous report by Linsley of the detection of a primary cosmic ray with an energy estimated to be in e...
