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 کاملPhoton Bunching at TeV Energies
Harwit, Protheroe, and Biermann (1999) recently proposed that BoseEinstein photon bunching might significantly affect the interpretation of Cerenkov counts of TeV gamma photons. Here, we show that a combination of two recent results of Aharonian et al. (2000) and Aharonian et al. (2001) permits us to set new, more stringent upper limits of ∼< 10% on the fractional amount of photon bunching in t...
متن کاملPhoton dispersion in causal sets
This relation gives delays over astronomical distances of seconds (GeV energies) to hours (TeV energies). A motivation for this suggestion is the possibility that space-time may be lumpy, fuzzy, or even discrete, on small scales, and that this lumpiness may affect photon propagation in a dispersive way. We adopt the extreme viewpoint provided by causal set theory, an approach to quantum gravity...
متن کامل2D Materials for Photon Conversion and Nanophotonics
The field of two-dimensional (2D) materials has the potential to enable unique applications across a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum. While 2D-layered materials hold promise for next-generation photon-conversion intrinsic limitations and challenges exist that shall be overcome. Here we discuss the intrinsic limitations as well as application opportunities of this new class of materia...
