Studying the Ultraviolet Spectrum of the First Spectroscopically Confirmed Supernova at redshift two

M. Smith, M. Sullivan, R. C. Nichol +87

We present observations of DES16C2nm, the first spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-free superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at redshift z~2. DES16C2nm was discovered by the Dark Ene…

Production of cosmic-ray antinuclei in the Galaxy and background for dark matter searches

Nicola Tomassetti, Alberto Oliva

Antimatter nuclei in cosmic rays (CR) represent a promising discovery channel for the indirect search of dark matter. We present astrophysical background calculations of CR antideu…

Secondary antinuclei from supernova remnants and background for dark matter searches

Nicola Tomassetti, Alberto Oliva

We compute the spectra of cosmic-ray (CR) nuclei and antinuclei under a scenario where hadronic interaction processes inside supernova remnants (SNRs) can produce a diffusively-sho…

Production of antimatter nuclei in Galactic cosmic rays

Alberto Oliva, Nicola Tomassetti, Jie Feng

Antimatter nuclei in cosmic rays (CRs) are a promising tool for the indirect detection of dark-matter annihilation signatures. However, the search of new-physics signals in CRs rel…

Production and acceleration of antinuclei in supernova shockwaves

Nicola Tomassetti, Alberto Oliva

We compute the energy spectra of antideuterons and antihelium in cosmic rays (CRs) in a scenario where hadronic interactions inside supernova remnants (SNRs) can produce a diffusiv…

Prospects for CTA observations of the young SNR RX J1713.7-3946

The CTA Consortium, :, F. Acero +381

We perform simulations for future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observations of RX~J1713.73946, a young supernova remnant (SNR) and one of the brightest sources ever discovere…
