Cosmic Rays above 10 14 eV
We briefly review the status of cosmic ray studies between 10 14 eV and the highest observed energies, namely a few times 10 20 eV. Because of the rather low incident fluxes in this energy range, the studies mostly rely on ground based, large aperture detectors reconstructing the cosmic ray's properties through the detection of the air-showers they generate by interacting with the atmosphere. W...
متن کامل0 Can Gamma Ray Bursts Produce the Observed Cosmic Rays Above 10 20 eV ?
It has been suggested that cosmological γ-ray bursts (GRBs) can produce the observed flux and spectrum of cosmic rays at the highest energies. However, recent observations indicate that the redshift distribution of GRBs most likely follows that of the star formation rate in the universe, a rate which was much higher at redshifts 1.5-2 than it is today. Thus, most GRBs are at high redshifts. As ...
متن کاملAtmospheric Calorimetry above 10 eV: Shooting Lasers at the Pierre Auger Cosmic-Ray Observatory
The Pierre Auger Cosmic-Ray Observatory uses the earth’s atmosphere as a calorimeter to measure extensive air-showers created by particles of astrophysical origin. Some of these particles carry joules of energy. At these extreme energies, test beams are not available in the conventional sense. Yet understanding the energy response of the observatory is important. For example, the propagation di...

متن کاملCosmological Origin for Cosmic Rays above 10 19 Ev
The cosmic ray spectrum at 10 19 eV 10 20 eV, reported by the Fly's Eye and the AGASA experiments, is shown to be consistent with a cosmological distribution of sources of protons, with a power law generation spectrum d ln N=d ln E = 2:3 0:5 and energy production rate of 4:5 1:5 10 44 erg Mpc 3 yr 1. The two events measured above 10 20 eV are not inconsistent with this model. Verifying the exis...
