Acceleration of petaelectronvolt protons in the Galactic Centre

H. E. S. S. collaboration, :, A. Abramowski +229

Galactic cosmic rays reach energies of at least a few Peta-electronvolts (1 PeV = electron volts). This implies our Galaxy contains PeV accelerators (PeVatrons), bu…

Search for photon line-like signatures from Dark Matter annihilations with H.E.S.S

H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, A. Abramowski +201

Gamma-ray line signatures can be expected in the very-high-energy (VHE; E_γ> 100 GeV) domain due to self-annihilation or decay of dark matter (DM) particles in space. Such a signal…

Identification of HESS J1303-631 as a Pulsar Wind Nebula through gamma-ray, X-ray and radio observations

The H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, A. Abramowski +196

The previously unidentified very high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray source HESS J1303-631, discovered in 2004, is re-examined including new data from the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov teles…

The electromagnetic calorimeter of the AMS-02 experiment

M. Vecchi, L. Basara, G. Bigongiari +23

The electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) of the AMS-02 experiment is a 3-dimensional sampling calorimeter, made of lead and scintillating fibers. The detector allows for a high granu…

Discovery of gamma-ray emission from the extragalactic pulsar wind nebula N157B with the High Energy Stereoscopic System

HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +195

We present the significant detection of the first extragalactic pulsar wind nebula (PWN) detected in gamma rays, N157B, located in the large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Pulsars with hi…

Search for Lorentz Invariance breaking with a likelihood fit of the PKS 2155-304 flare data taken on MJD 53944

HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +193

Several models of Quantum Gravity predict Lorentz Symmetry breaking at energy scales approaching the Planck scale (10^{19} GeV). With present photon data from the observations of d…
