TeV γ-rays via nuclei de-excitation: HEGRA source
It is possible that TeV γ rays can originate in the photo-deexcitation of a PeV nucleus following photodisintegration via the Giant Dipole Resonance in an environment rich in Lyman alpha photons. This mechanism is examined as a candidate explanation of the recently discovered HEGRA source. The ultra-violet photon background results from the rich O and B star environment of the CygnusOB2 associa...
متن کاملThe time structure of Cherenkov images generated by TeV γ-rays and by cosmic rays
Preprint submitted to Elsevier Preprint 5 February 2008 The time profiles of Cherenkov images of cosmic-ray showers and of γ-ray showers are investigated, using data gathered with the HEGRA system of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes during the 1997 outbursts of Mrk 501. Photon arrival times are shown to vary across the shower images. The dominant feature is a time gradient along the maj...
متن کاملNote on geodesic rays tamed by simple test configurations
In this short note, we give a new proof of a theorem of Arezzo-Tian on the existence of smooth geodesic rays tamed by a special degeneration. In [7], S. K. Donaldson proposed an ambitious program to tackle the problem of the existence and uniqueness of extremal metrics on a Kähler manifold from the perspective of the infinite dimensional space of Kähler potentials. He observed that the existenc...
متن کاملINTEGRAL probes the morphology of the Crab nebula in hard X - rays / soft γ - rays
Aims. We use the IBIS/ISGRI telescope on board INTEGRAL to measure the position of the centroid of the 20-200 keV emission from the Crab region. Methods. We find that the astrometry of the IBIS telescope is affected by the temperature of the IBIS mask during the observation. After correcting for this effect, we show that the systematic errors on the astrometry of the telescope are of the order ...
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...
