Secondary Photons from High-energy Protons Accelerated in Hypernovae
Recent observations show that hypernovae may deposit some fraction of their kinetic energy in mildly relativistic ejecta. In the dissipation process of such ejecta in a stellar wind, cosmic ray protons can be accelerated up to ∼ 10 eV. We discuss the TeV to MeV gamma-ray and the X-ray photon signatures of cosmic rays accelerated in hypernovae. Secondary X-ray photons, emitted by electron-positr...
متن کاملLaser-accelerated protons with energy-dependent beam direction.
The spatial distribution of protons, accelerated by intense femtosecond laser pulses interacting with thin target foils under oblique irradiation are investigated. Under certain conditions, the proton beams are directed away from the target normal. This deviation is towards the laser forward direction, with an angle that increases with the level and duration of the amplified spontaneous emissio...
متن کاملEnergy optimization procedure for treatment planning with laser-accelerated protons.
A simple analytical model is found that predicts the exact proton spectrum needed to obtain a spread-out-Bragg peak (SOBP) distribution for laser-accelerated proton beams. The theory is based on the solution to the Boltzmann kinetic equation for the proton distribution function. The resulting analytical expression allows one to calculate the SOBP proton energy spectra for the different beamlet ...
متن کاملCoulomb explosion effect and the maximum energy of protons accelerated by high-power lasers.
The acceleration of light ions (protons) through the interaction of a high-power laser pulse with a double-layer target is theoretically studied by means of two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations and a one-dimensional analytical model. It is shown that the maximum energy acquired by the accelerated light ions (protons) depends on the physical characteristics of a heavy-ion layer (electron...
متن کاملDiffusion of Ultra High Energy Protons in Galaxy Clusters and Secondary X and Gamma Ray Emissions
In this work we simulate the propagation of Ultra High Energy (UHE) protons in the magnetised intergalactic medium of Galaxy Clusters (GCs). Differently from previous works on the subject, we trace proton trajectories in configurations of the Intra Cluster Magnetic Field (ICMF) which have been extracted from a constrained Magnetic-SPH simulation of the local universe. Such an approach allows us...
