Energy dependence of the knee in the cosmic ray spectrum across the Milky Way

C. Prevotat, M. Kachelriess, S. Koldobskiy +2

The all-particle spectrum of cosmic rays measured at Earth has a knee-like feature around 4 PeV. A priori, it is not clear if this is a local feature specific to the Solar neighbou…

Detecting ALP wiggles at TeV energies

M. Kachelriess, J. Tjemsland

Axions and axion-like-particles (ALPs) are characterised by their two-photon coupling, which entails so-called photon-ALP oscillations as photons propagate through a magnetic field…

Impact of the finite life-time of UHECR sources

Björn Eichmann, Michael Kachelrieß

The observational data on ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR), in particular their mass composition, show strong indications for extremely hard spectra of individual mass groups o…

AAfrag 2.01: Interpolation routines for Monte Carlo results on secondary production including light antinuclei in hadronic interactions

M. Kachelriess, S. Ostapchenko, J. Tjemsland

Light antinuclei, like antideuteron and antihelium-3, are ideal probes for new, exotic physics because their astrophysical backgrounds are suppressed at low energies. In order to e…

Explaining the UHECR spectrum, composition and large-scale anisotropies with radio galaxies

Björn Eichmann, Michael Kachelrieß, Foteini Oikonomou

Radio galaxies are promising candidates as the sources of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). In this work, we examine if the stringent constraints imposed by the dipole and qua…

Extragalactic cosmic rays

M. Kachelriess

I review the status of ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) physics.After introducing the main experimental results and summarizing possible intepretations, I discuss observational…
