Highest Energy Cosmic Rays
It is proposed that the highest energy ∼ 10 20 eV cosmic ray primaries are protons, decay products of a long-lived progenitor whose high kinetic energy arises from decay of a distant (cosmological) superheavy particle, G. Such a scenario can occur in e.g. SU (15) grand unification and in some preon models, but is more generic; if true, these unusual cosmic rays provide a window into new physics...
متن کاملHighest Energy Cosmic Rays
We review the current state and future prospect of ultra high energy cosmic ray physics and the relationship between cosmic rays and gamma-ray astrophysics.
متن کاملHigh energy astrophysical neutrinos
High energy neutrinos with energy typically greater than tens of thousands of GeV may originate from several astrophysical sources. The sources may include, for instance, our galaxy, the active centers of nearby galaxies, as well as possibly the distant sites of gamma ray bursts. I briefly review some aspects of production and propagation as well as prospects for observations of these high ener...
متن کاملHigh Energy Astrophysical Processes
We briefly review the high energy astrophysical processes that are related to the production of high energy γ-ray and neutrino signals and are likely to be important for the energy loss of high and ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. We also give examples for neutrino fluxes generated by different astrophysical objects and describe the cosmological link provided by cosmogenic neutrinos.
متن کاملAstrophysical Tests of Lorentz and CPT Violation with Photons
A general framework for tests of Lorentz invariance with electromagnetic waves is presented, allowing for operators of arbitrary mass dimension. Signatures of Lorentz violations include vacuum birefringence, vacuum dispersion, and anisotropies. Sensitive searches for violations using sources such as active galaxies, gamma-ray bursts, and the cosmic microwave background are discussed. Direction-...
