Propagation of ultra high energy cosmic rays
We briefly describe the energy loss processes of ultrahigh energy protons, heavier nuclei and gamma rays in interactions with the universal photon fields of the Universe. We then discuss the modification of the accelerated cosmic ray energy spectrum in propagation by the energy loss processes and the charged cosmic ray scattering in the extragalactic magnetic fields. The energy lost by the ultr...
متن کاملA study of the Correlation of Arrival Directions of UHECRs with the Large Scale Structure of the Universe
Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are believed to originate from astrophysical sources, which should trace the large scale structure (LSS) of the universe. On the other hand, the magnetic field in the intergalactic space (IGMF), which also traces the LSS of the universe, deflects the trajectories of the charged UHECRs and spoils the positional correlation of the observed UHECR events with t...
متن کاملPropagation of Ultrahigh Energy Nuclei in Clusters of Galaxies: Resulting Composition and Secondary Emissions
We study the survival of ultrahigh energy nuclei injected in clusters of galaxies, as well as their secondary neutrino and photon emissions, using a complete numerical propagation method and a realistic modeling of the magnetic, baryonic and photonic backgrounds. It is found that the survival of heavy nuclei highly depends on the injection position and on the profile of the magnetic field. Taki...
متن کاملPropagation of UHE Protons through Magnetized Cosmic Web
If ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) originate from extragalactic sources, understanding the propagation of the charged particles through the magnetized large scale structure (LSS) of the universe is crucial in the search for astrophysical accelerators. Based on a novel model of turbulence dynamo, we estimate the intergalactic magnetic fields (IGMFs) in cosmological simulations for the form...
