  1. 6. Studies of cosmic rays with the anticoincidence system of the PAMELA satellite experiment

    Författare :Silvio Orsi; Mark Pearce; Martin Pohl; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; astrophysics; astroparticle physics; antimatter; organic scintillators; cosmic rays; trapped particles; Astroparticle physics; Astropartikelfysik;

    Sammanfattning : PAMELA is a satellite-borne experiment designed to study the charged component of the cosmic radiation of galactic, solar and trapped nature. The main scientific objective is the study of the antimatter component of cosmic rays over a wide range of energies (antiprotons: 80 MeV–190 GeV, positrons: 50 MeV–270 GeV). LÄS MER

  3. 7. Transport, Turbulence and Instabilities in Cosmic Magnetic Fields

    Författare :Giuseppe Di Bernardo; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cosmic Rays; Interstella Medium; Galactic Magnetic Fields; Magnetohydrodynamics Turbulence; Accretion Discs;

    Sammanfattning : This decade has seen a large number of space missions, which, alongside ground-based radio, optical and gamma-ray telescopes, have enabled a deep insight into the non-thermal astrophysical environments. Interstellar Medium (ISM), Supernovae Remnants (SNRs) and Black-Hole (BH) accretion discs (ADs) are only a few examples of natural habitat of interaction of relativistic particles and magnetic fields, largely mediated by the action of the turbulence.

  4. 8. Parametric Model for Astrophysical Proton-Proton Interactions and Applications

    Författare :Niklas Karlsson; Per Carlson; Simon Swordy; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; astrophysics; gamma rays; proton-proton interactions; cosmic rays; Astronomy and astrophysics; Astronomi och astrofysik;

    Sammanfattning : Observations of gamma-rays have been made from celestial sources such as active galaxies, gamma-ray bursts and supernova remnants as well as the Galactic ridge. The study of gamma rays can provide information about production mechanisms and cosmic-ray acceleration. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Multi-messenger emission from gamma-ray bursts

    Författare :Filip Samuelsson; Felix Ryde; Peter Mészáros; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; astrophysics; gamma-ray bursts; cosmic rays; Atomic; Subatomic and Astrophysics; Atomär fysik; subatomär fysik och astrofysik;

    Sammanfattning : Multi-messenger astronomy is a very hot topic in the astrophysical community. A messenger is something that carries information. Different astrophysical messenger types are photons, cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gravitational waves. They all carry unique and complementary information to one another. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Cosmic clues from astrophysical particles

    Författare :Francesca Capel; Christer Fuglesang; Michael Unger; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysik; Physics;

    Sammanfattning : Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are charged particles that have been accelerated to extreme energies, such that they are effectively travelling at the speed of light. Interactions of these particles with the Earth’s atmosphere lead to the development of extensive showers of particles and radiation that can be measured with existing technology. LÄS MER
