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…
Simulation of the isotropic ultra-high energy photons flux in the solar magnetic field
Bożena Poncyljusz, Tomasz Bulik, Niraj Dhital +17
Both the lack of observation of ultra-high energy (UHE) photons and the limitations of the state-of-the-art methodology being applied for their identification motivate studies on a…

Compilation of papers presented by the JEM-EUSO Collaboration at the 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC), held on July 12-23, 2021 (online) in Berlin, Germany.
Cosmic ray ensembles as signatures of ultra-high energy photons interacting with the solar magnetic field
N. Dhital, P. Homola, D. Alvarez-Castillo +30
Propagation of ultra-high energy photons in the solar magnetosphere gives rise to cascades comprising thousands of photons. We study the cascade development using Monte Carlo simul…
