Ultra-high energy cosmic rays, cascade γ-rays, and high-energy neutrinos from gamma-ray bursts
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are sources of energetic, highly variable fluxes of γ rays, which demonstrates that they are powerful particle accelerators. Besides relativistic electrons, GRBs should also accelerate high-energy hadrons, some of which could escape cooling to produce ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). Acceleration of high-energy hadrons in GRB blast waves will be established if hig...
متن کاملCosmic Rays and High-Energy Neutrinos from Gamma-Ray Bursts
Several lines of evidence point to a relationship between gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the high mass stars that explode as supernovae. Arguments that GRB sources accelerate cosmic rays (CRs) are summarized. High-energy neutrino detection from individual GRBs would mean that they are hadronically dominated, that is, that the amount of energy deposited in the form of nonthermal hadrons in GRB blas...
متن کاملHigh-Energy Cosmic Rays and Neutrinos from Gamma-Ray Bursts
— A complete model for the origin of high-energy ( > ∼ 10 14 eV) cosmic rays from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and implications of this hypothesis are described. Detection of high-energy neutrinos from GRBs provide an unambiguous test of the model. Evidence for cosmic-ray acceleration in GRBs is suggested by the detection of anomalous γ-ray components such as that observed from GRB 941017. Neutron β...
متن کاملHigh-Energy Cosmic Rays from Gamma-Ray Bursts
A model is proposed for the origin of cosmic rays (CRs) from ∼ 1014 eV/nucleon to the highest energies (>∼ 1020 eV). GRBs are assumed to inject CR protons and ions into the interstellar medium of star-forming galaxies—including the Milky Way— with a power-law spectrum extending to a maximum energy ∼ 1020 eV. The CR spectrum near the knee is fit with CRs trapped in the Galactic halo that were ac...
متن کاملHigh Energy Gamma Rays from Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Ray Protons in Gamma Ray Bursts
It has recently been proposed that ultrahigh energy (∼> 10 19 eV) cosmic rays (UHECRs) are accelerated by the blast waves associated with GRBs. We calculate the observed synchrotron spectrum from protons and energetic leptons formed in the cascades initiated by photopion production, taking into account γγ attenuation at the source. Normalizing to the emission characteristics of GRB 970508, we p...
