LHAASO-KM2A detector simulation using Geant4

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An +275

KM2A is one of the main sub-arrays of LHAASO, working on gamma ray astronomy and cosmic ray physics at energies above 10 TeV. Detector simulation is the important foundation for es…

Very high energy gamma-ray emission beyond 10 TeV from GRB 221009A

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An +276

The highest energy gamma-rays from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have important implications for their radiation mechanism. Here we report for the first time the detection of gamma-rays…

Does or did the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A operate as a PeVatron?

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An +276

For decades, supernova remnants (SNRs) have been considered the prime sources of Galactic Cosmic rays (CRs). But whether SNRs can accelerate CR protons to PeV energies and thus dom…

An Ultrahigh-energy -ray Bubble Powered by a Super PeVatron

The LHAASO Collaboration, Z. Cao, F. Aharonian +277

We report the detection of a -ray bubble spanning at least 100 in ultra high energy (UHE) up to a few PeV in the direction of the star-forming region Cygnus X, implyi…

Exploring Lorentz Invariance Violation from Ultra-high-energy Gamma Rays Observed by LHAASO

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An +268

Recently the LHAASO Collaboration published the detection of 12 ultra-high-energy gamma-ray sources above 100 TeV, with the highest energy photon reaching 1.4 PeV. The first detect…
