Gamma Rays from SN 1987A due to Pseudoscalar Conversion.
A light pseudoscalar coupled to two photons would be copiously emitted by the core of a supernova. Part of this flux would be converted to γ−rays by the galactic magnetic field. Measurements on the SN1987A γ−ray flux by the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer on the Solar Maximum Mission satellite already imply a bound on the coupling g < 3×10 GeV. The improved generation of satellite-borne detectors, like ...
متن کاملCangaroo-iii Search for Gamma Rays from Sn 1987a and the Surrounding Field
Optical images of SN 1987A show a triple ring structure. The inner (dust) ring has recently increased in brightness and in the number of hot spots suggesting that the supernova shock wave has collided with the dense pre-existing circumstellar medium, a scenario supported by radio and X-ray observations. Such a shocked environment is widely expected to result in the acceleration of charged parti...
متن کاملRecent progress of avalanche photodiodes in high-resolution X-rays and γ-rays detection
We have studied the performance of large area avalanche photodiodes (APDs) recently developed by Hamamatsu Photonics K.K, in high-resolution X-rays and γrays detections. We show that reach-through APD can be an excellent soft X-ray detector operating at room temperature or moderately cooled environment. We obtain the best energy resolution ever achieved with APDs, 6.4 % for 5.9 keV X-rays, and ...
متن کاملRealistic dosimetry for studies on biological responses to X-rays and γ-rays
A calibration coefficient R (= DA/DE) for photons was employed to characterize the photon dose in radiobiological experiments, where DA was the actual dose delivered to cells and DE was the dose recorded by an ionization chamber. R was determined using the Monte Carlo N-Particle version 5 (MCNP-5) code. Photons with (i) discrete energies, and (ii) continuous-energy distributions under different...
متن کاملDiffuse γ-rays from galactic halos
The γ-ray sky as we know it today is a composite of the emission from point sources and diffuse emission (see Fig.1). The most prominent feature is the galactic plane, in which interactions between cosmic rays and the thermal gas lead to γ-ray emission by π-decay and bremsstrahlung. On top of this diffuse emission we see point sources all over the map, part of them being pulsars, another part d...
