Anisotropic Particle Transport from a Pulsar Wind Nebula Revealed by Einstein Probe and LHAASO

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +339

Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are major cosmic ray accelerators, yet the mechanisms transporting high-energy particles into the interstellar medium remain elusive. Building on the LHA…

Constraining the Cosmic-ray Energy Based on Observations of Nearby Galaxy Clusters by LHAASO

The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +323

Galaxy clusters act as reservoirs of high-energy cosmic rays (CRs). As CRs propagate through the intracluster medium, they generate diffuse -rays detectable by arrays such as LH…
