Double Pair Production by Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray Photons

S. V. Demidov, O. E. Kalashev

With use of CompHEP package we've made the detailed estimate of the influence of double e+e- pair production by photons (DPP) on the propagation of ultra high energy electromagneti…

Ultimate synchrotron cutoff in gamma-ray spectra of blazars as a signature of the converter mechanism

Boris E. Stern, Yana Y. Tikhomirov

There is a robust upper limit on the energy of synchrotron radiation in high-energy astrophysics: , where is the fine structure constant and the…

Constraints on amplitudes of curvature perturbations from primordial black holes

Edgar Bugaev, Peter Klimai

We calculate the primordial black hole (PBH) mass spectrum produced from a collapse of the primordial density fluctuations in the early Universe using, as an input, several theoret…

CMB anisotropy induced by tachyonic perturbations of dark energy

M. V. Libanov, V. A. Rubakov, O. S. Sazhina +1

We study effects of possible tachyonic perturbations of dark energy on the CMB temperature anisotropy. Motivated by some models of phantom energy, we consider both Lorentz-invarian…

Sensitivity of cosmic-ray experiments to ultra-high-energy photons: reconstruction of the spectrum and limits on the superheavy dark matter

O. E. Kalashev, G. I. Rubtsov, S. V. Troitsky

We estimate the sensitivity of various experiments detecting ultra-high-energy cosmic rays to primary photons with energies above 10^19 eV. We demonstrate that the energy of a prim…

Testing large-scale (an)isotropy of ultra-high energy cosmic rays

Hylke B. J. Koers, Peter Tinyakov

We present a simple yet powerful method to test models of cosmic-ray (CR) origin using the distribution of CR arrival directions. The method is statistically unambiguous in the sen…
