On the Origin of Cosmic Rays

R. Plaga

The problem in identifying the sites of origin of Galactic Cosmic Rays (CRs) is reviewed. Recent observational evidence from very-high energy (VHE, energies above 100 GeV) gamma-ra…

A precision calculation of the effective number of cosmological neutrinos

G. Mangano, G. Miele, S. Pastor +1

The neutrino energy density of the Universe can be conveniently parametrized in terms of the so-called effective number of neutrinos, N_nu^eff. This parameter enters in several cos…

Very high-energy gamma-ray observations of the Crab nebula and other potential sources with the GRAAL experiment

F. Arqueros, J. Ballestrin, M. Berenguel +6

The ``Gamma Ray Astronomy at ALmeria'' (GRAAL) experiment uses 63 heliostat-mirrors with a total mirror area of ~ 2500 m2 from the CESA-1 field at the ``Plataforma Solar de Almeria…

F. Arqueros, J. Ballestrin, M. Berenguel +6

The ``Gamma Ray Astronomy at ALmeria'' (GRAAL) experiment uses 63 heliostat-mirrors with a total mirror area of ~ 2500 m2 from the CESA-1 field to collect Cherenkov light from airs…

A possible use for polarizers in imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes

I. de la Calle, J. L. Contreras, J. Cortina +1

Cherenkov radiation produced in Extensive Air Showers shows a net polarization. This article discusses its properties and physical origin, and proposes an arrangement of polarizers…

Photons as Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays ?

O. E. Kalashev, V. A. Kuzmin, D. V. Semikoz +1

We study spectra of the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays assuming primaries are protons and photons, and that their sources are extragalactic. We assume power low for the injection sp…
