The absolute CR-flux from 50 TeV to 15 PeV
نویسندگان
چکیده
The all particle energy spectrum at energies > 50 TeV is measured using the lateral distributions of electrons, muons and Cherenkov photons. The data are from the HEGRA airshower array at ORM, La Palma. The energy spectrum is obtained using a regularised unfolding of the data on the basis of the Monte Carlo code CORSIKA. Different model inputs allow an estimate of systematic uncertainties. The position of the knee is determined as well as coarse information on the chemical composition.

Based on combined 3-year data, the IceCube collaboration has reported recently the discovery of a diffuse background of high energy (HE) astrophysical neutrinos with energy above 60 TeV that extends at least up to 3 PeV, in excess (5.7σ significance level) of that produced by cosmic ray (CR) interactions in the atmosphere. The neutrino events did not point back to any identified sources and are...
متن کاملPeV neutrinos observed by IceCube from cores of active galactic nuclei
Recently, the IceCube Collaboration has reported the first observation of cosmic 2 PeV energy neutrinos giving a signal 3 above the atmospheric background [1]. More recently, 18 events 4 above the expected atmospheric background were reported with energies above 100 TeV. These neutrinos are likely to be of cosmic origin; their angular distribution is consistent with isotropy. The average spectr...
متن کاملHidden Cosmic-Ray Accelerators as an Origin of TeV-PeV Cosmic Neutrinos.
The latest IceCube data suggest that the all-flavor cosmic neutrino flux may be as large as 10^{-7} GeV cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1} around 30 TeV. We show that, if sources of the TeV-PeV neutrinos are transparent to γ rays with respect to two-photon annihilation, strong tensions with the isotropic diffuse γ-ray background measured by Fermi are unavoidable, independently of the production mechanism....
متن کاملCosmic - Ray Electrons and the Diffuse Gamma - Ray Spectrum
Short Title: Cosmic-ray electrons and diffuse gamma-ray spectrum 1 Abstract The bulk of the diffuse galactic gamma-ray emission above a few tens of GeV has been conventionally ascribed to the decay of neutral pions produced in cosmic-ray interactions with interstellar matter. Cosmic-ray electrons may, however, make a significant contribution to the gamma-ray spectrum at high energies, and even ...
متن کاملTeV-PeV Neutrinos from Giant Flares of Magnetars and the Case of SGR 1806-20
We estimate the high energy neutrino flux from the giant flare of SGR 180620 on December 27, 2004, which irradiated Earth with a gamma-ray flux ∼ 10 times larger than the most luminous gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) ever detected. The Antarctic Cherenkov neutrino detector AMANDA was on-line during the flare, and may either have detected high energy neutrinos for the first time from a cosmic point sour...
