Measurement of the cosmic ray nickel energy spectrum from 10 GeV/n to 2 TeV/n with the DAMPE
F. Alemanno, Q. An, P. Azzarello +144
Nickel, one of the most tightly bound nuclei alongside iron, is the most abundant heavy element beyond iron in cosmic rays. With DAMPE's excellent charge resolution and broad energ…
Exploring the nature of Galactic unassociated sources detected by the Fermi-LAT
F. Acero, A. Acharyya, A. Adelfio +120
We investigate the nature of the unassociated sources detected by the Fermi-LAT close (|b|<10°) to the Galactic plane, representing 16% of all sources in the 4FGL-DR4 catalog. The…
Gamma-ray signature of superluminous supernovae: Fermi-LAT GeV detection of SN 2017egm and evidence of a central engine
F. Acero, A. Acharyya, A. Adelfio +116
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are a rare class of transients with peak luminosities 10-100 times greater than those of standard core-collapse supernovae (SNe). The mechanisms po…
Observations of the Fermi bubbles and the Galactic center excess with the DArk Matter Particle Explorer
F. Alemanno, Q. An, P. Azzarello +145
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a space-borne high-energy particle detector that surveys the -ray sky above with a peak acceptance of $\sim 0.2~\rm…
Beam test studies for a SiPM-based RICH detector prototype for the future ALICE~3 experiment
A. R. Altamura, L. Congedo, G. De Robertis +14
The ALICE Collaboration is proposing a completely new apparatus, ALICE~3, for the LHC Runs~5 and beyond. In this context, a key subsystem for high-energy charged particle identific…
Test beam performance of a novel RICH detector with timing capabilities for the future ALICE~3 PID system at LHC
M. N. Mazziotta, L. Congedo, G. De Robertis +9
The ALICE Collaboration is proposing a completely new apparatus, ALICE 3, for the LHC Run 5 and beyond. A key subsystem for charged particle identification will be a Ring-Imaging C…
