Ultra-high-energy Cosmic Ray Sources can be Gamma-ray Dim

Angelina Sherman, Ke Fang, Rafael Alves Batista +1

Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, accelerated hadrons that can exceed energies of eV, are the highest-energy particles ever observed. While the sources producing UHECRs are…

Dark matter searches in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array

Francesco Gabriele Saturni, Michele Doro, Aldo Morselli +1

Dark matter (DM) is one of the major components in the Universe. However, at present its existence is still only inferred through indirect astronomical observations. DM particles c…
