A Break in the Highest Energy Cosmic Ray Spectrum: a Signature of New Physics?
Recent experimental data from the Fly’s Eye and the Akeno array seem to indicate significant structure in the ultrahigh energy cosmic ray spectrum above 10 eV. A statistically significant dip has been established at about 5 × 10 eV. In addition, each experiment observed a different superhigh energy event above 10 eV separated from the rest of the data by about half a decade in energy. In this a...
متن کاملPossible Interpretations of the High Energy Cosmic Ray Electron Spectrum measured with the Fermi Space Telescope
The Fermi Large Area Telescope has provided the measurement of the high energy (20 GeV to 1 TeV) cosmic ray electrons and positrons spectrum with unprecedented accuracy. This measurement represents a unique probe for studying the origin and diffusive propagation of cosmic rays as well as for looking for possible evidences of Dark Matter. In this contribution we focus mainly on astrophysical sou...

متن کاملData Analysis for the Measurement of High Energy Cosmic Ray Electron/Positron Spectrum with Fermi-LAT
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument on board the Fermi satellite consists of a multilayer silicon-strip tracker interleaved with tungsten converters (TKR), followed by a CsI crystal hodoscopic calorimeter (CAL). Sixteen TKR and CAL modules are assembled in a 4×4 array. A segmented anticoincidence plastic scintillator (ACD) surrounds the TKRs. The primary cosmic-ray electron/positron energ...
متن کاملExploring the High-Energy Cosmic Ray Spectrum with a Toy Model of Cosmic Ray Diffusion
We introduce a static toy model of the cosmic ray (CR) universe in which cosmic ray propagation is taken to be diffusive and cosmic ray sources are distributed randomly with a density the same as that of local L∗ galaxies, 5 × 10 −3 Mpc. These sources “fire” at random times through the history of the universe but with a set expectation time for the period between bursts. Our toy model model cap...
