Super-heavy X particle decay and Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays

Cyrille Barbot

In this thesis, I describe in great detail the physics of the decay of any Super-Heavy X particle (with masses up to the grand unification scale ~ 10^16 GeV and possibly beyond), a…

Decay of Super-Heavy particles: User guide of the SHdecay program

Cyrille Barbot

I give here a detailed user guide for the C++ program SHdecay, which has been developed for computing the final spectra of stable particles (protons, photons, LSPs, electrons, neut…

Detailed analysis of the decay spectrum of a super-heavy X particle

Cyrille Barbot, Manuel Drees

Decays of superheavy X particles with mass M_X ~ 10^12 - 10^16 GeV have been proposed as origin of the observed ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR). We describe in detail the phy…

SUSY In The Sky: Observing Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Neutralinos

C. Barbot, M. Drees, F. Halzen +1

In models where the ultra-high energy cosmic ray problem is solved by top-down scenarios, a significant flux of ultra-high energy neutralinos is predicted. We calculate the number…

Neutrinos Associated With Cosmic Rays of Top-Down Origin

C. Barbot, M. Drees, F. Halzen +1

Top-down models of cosmic rays produce more neutrinos than photons and more photons than protons. In these models, we reevaluate the fluxes of neutrinos associated with the highest…

Production of ultra-energetic cosmic rays through the decay of super-heavy X particles

Cyrille Barbot, Manuel Drees

We present a new and complete numerical analysis of the decay of super-heavy X particles, assumed to be the origin of cosmic rays with energy beyond the GZK cut-off. The decay of X…
