Detectability of southern gamma-ray sources beyond 100 TeV with ALPAQUITA, the prototype experiment of ALPACA
S. Kato, C. A. H. Condori, E. dela Fuente +47
Andes Large-area PArticle detector for Cosmic-ray physics and Astronomy (ALPACA) is an international experiment that applies southern very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy to…
Potential PeVatron supernova remnant G106.3+2.7 seen in the highest-energy gamma rays
M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +92
Cosmic rays (protons and other atomic nuclei) are believed to gain energies of petaelectronvolts (PeV) and beyond at astrophysical particle accelerators called 'PeVatrons' inside o…
Gamma-ray Observation of the Cygnus Region in the 100 TeV Energy Region
M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +110
We report observations of gamma-ray emissions with energies in the 100 TeV energy region from the Cygnus region in our Galaxy. Two sources are significantly detected in the directi…
Measurement of the Iron Spectrum in Cosmic Rays from 10 GeV to 2.0 TeV with the Calorimetric Electron Telescope on the International Space Station
O. Adriani, Y. Akaike, K. Asano +77
The Calorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET), in operation on the International Space Station since 2015, collected a large sample of cosmic-ray iron over a wide energy interval. In…
First Detection of sub-PeV Diffuse Gamma Rays from the Galactic Disk: Evidence for Ubiquitous Galactic Cosmic Rays beyond PeV Energies
M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +92
We report, for the first time, the long-awaited detection of diffuse gamma rays with energies between 100 TeV and 1 PeV in the Galactic disk. Particularly, all gamma rays above 398…
