Multi-messenger Astronomy: Cosmic Rays, Gamma-rays and Neutrinos
نویسنده
چکیده
Although cosmic rays were discovered a century ago, we do not know where or how they are accelerated. There is a realistic hope that the oldest problem in astronomy will be solved soon by ambitious experimentation: air shower arrays of 10,000 kilometer-square area, arrays of air Cerenkov telescopes and kilometer-scale neutrino observatories. Their predecessors are producing science. We will review the highlights:

Detectors for Cosmic Rays on Ground and in Space ∗
The origin of the cosmic rays has been a great mystery since they were discovered by Victor Hess in 1912. AGASA’s observation of ultra-high-energy cosmic-rays (UHECR) possibly beyond the GZK (Greisen, Zatsepin and Kuzmin) cutoff stimulated the field in great deal. In addition, Kamiokande’s detection of neutrinos from SN1987A and the H.E.S.S.’s detection of TeV gamma-rays from supernova remnants...
متن کاملHigh-energy Neutrino Astronomy: Science and First Results
We introduce neutrino astronomy starting from the observational fact that Nature accelerates protons and photons to energies in excess of 10 and 10 eV, respectively. Although the discovery of cosmic rays dates back a century, we do not know how and where they are accelerated. We review the observations as well as speculations about the sources. Among these gamma ray bursts and active galaxies r...

متن کاملMulti-Messenger Astronomy with GRBs: A White Paper for the Astro2010 Decadal Survey
Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are relativistic cosmological beacons of transient high energy radiation whose afterglows span the electromagnetic spectrum. Theoretical expectations of correlated neutrino and/or gravitational wave (GW) emission position GRBs at an astrophysical nexus for a metamorphosis in our understanding of the Cosmos. This new dawn in the era of experimental (particle) astrophysics...
متن کاملGeomagnetic Field Eect over Azimuth Anisotropy of Cosmic Rays via Study of Primary Particles
Geomagnetic field is a one of the candidates for creation of anisotropy in azimuth distribution of extensive air showers over the entered cosmic rays to the atmosphere. Here we present the question: Is there any azimuth anisotropy flux in the upper level of the atmosphere due to the geomagnetic field over the entered cosmic-rays? The obtained answer is: yes. This investigation showed an agreeme...
