Protons accelerated in the internal shocks of a long duration gamma ray burst can escape the fireball as cosmic rays by converting to neutrons. Hadronic interactions of these neutrons inside a stellar wind bubble created by the progenitor star will produce TeV gamma rays via neutral meson decay and synchrotron radiation by charged pion-decay electrons in the wind magnetic field. Such gamma rays...

background: lymphocytes of fanconi anemia (fa) show an increased sensitivity to the alkylating agents such as mitomycin c (mmc), but their responses to gamma-irradiation is controversial. the extent of dna damage in leukocytes of fa patients following irradiation and mmc treatment was studied at cellular and single chromosome level. methods: dna damage induced by gamma-rays and mmc was measured...

We have developed a model which aims to reproduce observational data of many kinds related to cosmic-ray origin and propagation: direct measurements of nuclei, antiprotons, electrons and positrons, γ-rays, and synchrotron radiation. Our main results include evaluation of diffusion/convection and reacceleration models, estimates of the halo size, calculations of the interstellar positron and ant...
