The Gamma-ray Albedo of the Moon
We use the GEANT4 Monte Carlo framework to calculate the γ-ray albedo of the Moon due to interactions of cosmic ray (CR) nuclei with moon rock. Our calculation of the albedo spectrum agrees with the EGRET data. We show that the spectrum of γ-rays from the Moon is very steep with an effective cutoff around 3–4 GeV (600 MeV for the inner part of the Moon disk) and exhibits a narrow pion-decay lin...

متن کاملThe Earth’s Gamma-ray Albedo as observed by EGRET
The Earth’s high energy gamma-ray emission is caused by cosmic ray interactions with the atmosphere. The EGRET detector on-board the CGRO satellite is only the second experiment (after SAS-2) to provide a suitable dataset for the comprehensive study of this emission. Approximately 60% of the EGRET dataset consist of gamma photons from the Earth. This conference contribution presents the first r...
متن کاملIsotropic Gamma-ray Background: Cosmic-ray-induced Albedo from Debris in the Solar System?
We calculate the γ -ray albedo due to cosmic-ray interactions with debris (small rocks, dust, and grains) in the Oort Cloud. We show that under reasonable assumptions a significant proportion of what is called the “extragalactic γ -ray background” could be produced at the outer frontier of the solar system, and may be detectable by the Large Area Telescope, the primary instrument on the Fermi G...
