Probing Cosmic Accelerators Using VHE Gamma Rays and UHE cosmic rays
The γ-ray emission observed in several classes of Galactic and extragalactic astrophysical sources appears to be linked to accreting black holes and rotational powered neutron stars. These systems are prodigious cosmic accelerators, and are also potential sources of the UHE cosmic rays detected by several experiments and VHE neutrinos. We review a recent progress in our understanding of these o...
متن کاملQuantum-gravity phenomenology with gamma rays and UHE cosmic rays
In recent years several ideas for experimental searches of effects induced by quantum properties of space-time have been discussed. Some of these ideas concern the role in quantum spacetime of the ordinary Lorentz symmetry of classical flat spacetime. Deviations from ordinary (classical) Lorentz symmetry are now believed to be rather natural in non-commutative space-times, models based on Strin...
متن کاملAcceleration of UHE Cosmic Rays in Gamma-Ray Bursts
Gamma-Ray Bursts are good candidates of the “bottom up” scenario for the generation of the UHE Cosmic Rays. In the most discussed model of GRBs, namely the “fireball” model, a highly relativistic shock forms and seems capable of accelerating the cosmic rays up to the EeV range. However, only the first Fermi cycle produces a large energy gain to particles coming from the external medium. Thus, a...
متن کاملIntergalactic Propagation of Uhe Cosmic Rays
We discuss the intergalactic propagation of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with energies E > ∼ 10 eV. We consider the propagation of UHECRs under the influence of the energy-dependent deflection by a weak random magnetic field in the intergalactic medium and energy losses by photo-pion and pair production. We calculate arrival spectra taking full account of the kinematics of photo-pion ...
متن کاملGalactic cosmic rays & gamma rays : a synthesis
We have developed a model which aims to reproduce observational data of many kinds related to cosmic-ray origin and propagation: direct measurements of nuclei, antiprotons, electrons and positrons, γ-rays, and synchrotron radiation. Our main results include evaluation of diffusion/convection and reacceleration models, estimates of the halo size, calculations of the interstellar positron and ant...
