Astrophysics at the Highest Energy Frontiers
نویسنده
چکیده
I discuss recent advances being made in the physics and astrophysics of cosmic rays and cosmic γ-rays at the highest observed energies as well as the related physics and astrophysics of very high energy cosmic neutrinos. I also discuss the connections between these topics.

Frontiers of Astrophysics - Workshop summary
We summarize recent results presented in the astrophysics session during a conference on “Frontiers of Contemporary Physics”. We will discuss three main fields (High-Energy Astrophysics, Relativistic Astrophysics, and Cosmology), where Astrophysicists are pushing the limits of our knowledge of the physics of the universe to new frontiers. Since the highlights of early 1997 were the first detect...

متن کاملCosmic Physics: the High Energy Frontier
Cosmic rays have been observed up to energies 10 times larger than those of the best particle accelerators. Studies of astrophysical particles (hadrons, neutrinos and photons) at their highest observed energies have implications for fundamental physics as well as astrophysics. Thus, the cosmic high energy frontier is the nexus to new particle physics. This overview discusses recent advances bei...

The solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is one of the most promising sources of energy, which has attracted many interests. Itis potentially the largest source of energy in the world and is capable to mitigategreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions significantly in comparison with fossil fuels.Location optimization of solar plants can play a vital role to rise the efficiency and performance of the solar PV s...
متن کاملThe Atmospheric Cherenkov Imaging Technique for Very High Energy Gamma-ray Astronomy
One of the last frontiers of the gamma-ray sky is that characterized by the distribution of TeV photons. These photons can be detected relatively easily with ground-based detectors (constituting a TeV ”window” in the atmosphere) and thus the detection of sources did not have to await the availability of space platforms. In practice although the technology was available at an early date, it requ...
