Cosmic - 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 کاملThe Galactic Diffuse Gamma-ray Spectrum from Cosmic-ray Proton Interactions
A new calculation of the Galactic diffuse gamma-ray spectrum from the decay of secondary particles produced by interactions of cosmic-ray protons with interstellar matter is presented. The calculation utilizes the modern Monte Carlo event generators, Hadrin, Fritiof and Pythia, which simulate high-energy proton-proton collisions and are widely used in studies of nuclear and particle physics, in...
متن کاملThe Local Interstellar Spectrum of Cosmic Ray Electrons
The direct measurements of electrons and positrons over the last 30 years, corrected for the solar effect in the force-field approximation, are considered. The resulting overall electron spectrum may be fitted with a single power law above few GeV with spectral index (γ− = 3.41 ± 0.02), consistent with the spectral index of the positron spectrum (γ+ = 3.40 ± 0.06), therefore suggesting a common...
متن کاملThe Local Interstellar Spectrum of Cosmic Ray Electrons . Direct measurements
The local interstellar spectrum of cosmic ray electrons is derived by correcting the data from balloon and space measurements for the solar modulation effect. The resulting spectrum, after the renormalization of some experimental data set, can be fitted with a single power law from about 3 GeV to 2 TeV with spectral index γ = 3.42 ± 0.02. On the other hand, at low energies the measurements by C...
متن کاملGamma Ray Bursts and Cosmic Ray Origin
This paper presents the theoretical basis of the fireball/blast wave model, and some implications of recent results on GRB source models and cosmic-ray production from GRBs. BATSE observations of the prompt γ-ray luminous phase, and Beppo-SAX and long wavelength afterglow observations of GRBs are briefly summarized. Derivation of spectral and temporal indices of an adiabatic blast wave decelera...
