Multi-messenger Astronomy: Cosmic Rays, Gamma-rays and Neutrinos
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 rev...
متن کاملNeutrinos and Gamma Rays from Galaxy Clusters
The next generation of neutrino and γ-ray detectors should provide new insights into the creation and propagation of high-energy protons within galaxy clusters, probing both the particle physics of cosmic rays interacting with the background medium and the mechanisms for high-energy particle production within the cluster. In this paper we examine the possible detection of γ-rays (via the GLAST ...
متن کاملGamma - Ray Bursts , Cosmic - Rays and Neutrinos ∗
The γ-ray burst (GRB) model for production of ultra-high-energy, > 10 eV, cosmic-rays is based on the hypothesis that GRBs arise from the dissipation of the kinetic energy of relativistic fireballs at cosmological distances. Recent observations of delayed low energy emission, “afterglow,” from GRB sources strongly support the validity of this hypothesis. Observations also provide quantitative s...
متن کاملModelling cosmic rays and gamma rays in the Galaxy
An extensive program for the calculation of galactic cosmic-ray propagation has been developed. This is a continuation of the work described in [1]. The main motivation for developing this code [2] is the prediction of diffuse Galactic gamma rays for comparison with data from the cgro instruments egret, comptel, and osse. The basic spatial propagation mechanisms are (momentumdependent) diffusio...
متن کاملgamma rays and neutrinos from a powerful cosmic accelerator.
Possibly, the powerful radio quasar 3C273 will reveal its nature as an efficient proton accelerator up to energies of order 10 11 GeV in the near future. It is shown in this paper that the shock accelerated protons expected to be present in the quasar's plasma jet induce an unsaturated synchrotron cascade with electromagnetic radiation emerging in the X–ray and gamma ray range. While (including...
