Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray Nuclei from Individual Magnetized Sources
We investigate the dependence of composition, spectrum and angular distributions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays above 10 eV from individual sources on their magnetization. We find that, especially for sources within a few megaparsecs from the observer, observable spectra and composition are severely modified if the source is surrounded by fields of ∼ 10 G on scales of a few megaparsecs. Low e...
متن کاملCoronal Gamma Ray Bursts as the sources of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays?
I consider the possibility that Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays are accelerated in Gamma Ray Bursts located in the Galactic corona, thus circumventing the problem raised by Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuz’min cutoff. The acceleration of UHECRs could occur in the pulsars which, in the coronal GRB model, produce them: the same parameters that permit fitting GRBs’ observations in the model of Podsiadlowski, Re...
متن کاملHigh energy gamma ray counterparts of astrophysical sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays
If ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are accelerated at astrophysical point sources, the identification of such sources can be achieved if there is some kind of radiation at observable wavelengths that may be associated with the acceleration and/or propagation processes. No radiation of this type has so far been detected or at least no such connection has been claimed. The process of photo...
متن کاملThe footprint of large scale cosmic structure on the ultra - high energy cosmic ray distribution
Current experiments collecting high statistics in ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are opening a new window on the universe. In this work we discuss a large scale structure model for the UHECR origin which evaluates the expected anisotropy in the UHECR arrival distribution starting from a given astronomical catalogue of the local universe. The model takes into account the main selection e...
متن کاملSmall Improvement to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test
The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test is widely used as a goodness-of-fit test. This thesis consists of two parts to describe ways to improve the classical K-S test in both 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional data. The first part is about how to improve the accuracy of the classical K-S goodness-of-fit test in 1-dimensional data. We replace the p-values estimated by the asymptotic distribution with nea...
