Cosmic Ray particle production
The status of some popular models to simulate hadronic and nuclear interactions at Cosmic Ray energies is reviewed. The models predict the rise of all the hadronic and nuclear cross sections with energy and a smooth (logarithmic) rise of average multiplicities, rapidity plateaus and average transverse momenta with the energy. Big differences are found between model predictions partly already at...
متن کاملTime Delays in Cosmic Ray Propagation
Cosmic Rays (CR) travel at speeds essentially indistinguishable from the speed of light. However whilst travelling through magnetic fields, both regular and turbulent, they are delayed behind the light since they are usually charged particles and their paths are not linear. Those delays can be so long that they are an impediment to correctly identifying sources which may be variable in time. Fu...
متن کاملThe Energetic Trans-Iron Cosmic-ray Experiment (ENTICE)
The ENTICE experiment is one of two instruments that comprise the ”Orbiting Astrophysical Spectrometer in Space (OASIS)”, which is presently undergoing a NASA ”Astrophysics Strategic Mission Concept Study”. ENTICE is designed to make high precision measurements of the abundances of individual elements from neon through the actinides and, in addition, will search for possible superheavy nuclei i...
متن کاملWhen Do Ultra-relativistic Shocks Make Energetic Particle Populations?
It is claimed that ultra-relativistic, magnetized, electron-ion shocks are, for most magnetic geometries, poor accelerators of non-thermal particles. The phenomenon of “missing” early X-ray afterglow observed in many of the Swift gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow data may simply be due to this fact. Rapid time variability of the X-ray emission could be produced by fluctuations in the orientation ...
متن کاملeV Cosmic Ray and Particle Physics with IceCube 1
We show that a kilometer-scale neutrino observatory, though optimized for detecting neutrinos of TeV to PeV energy, can reveal the science associated with the enigmatic super-EeV radiation in the Universe. Speculations regarding its origin include heavy relics from the early Universe, particle interactions associated with the Greisen cutoff, and topological defects which are remnant cosmic stru...
