Unparticle effects on cosmic ray photon and $e^{\pm }$

Abstract

We study the effects of unparticle physics on the cosmic ray photon and $e^{\pm }$, including on the pair production (PP) and elastic scattering (ES) of cosmic ray photon off various background radiations, and on the inverse Compton scattering of cosmic ray $e^{\pm }$ with cosmic radiations. We compute the spin-averaged amplitudes squared of three processes and find that the advent of unparticle will never significantly change the interactions of cosmic ray photon and $e^{\pm }$ with various background radiations, although the available papers show that ES which occurs in the tree-level through unparticle exchanges will easily surpass PP in the approximate parameter regions.
