Search for relativistic fractionally charged particles in space

DAMPE Collaboration, F. Alemanno, C. Altomare +148

More than a century after the performance of the oil drop experiment, the possible existence of fractionally charged particles FCP still remains unsettled. The search for FCPs is c…

Potential PeVatron supernova remnant G106.3+2.7 seen in the highest-energy gamma rays

M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +92

Cosmic rays (protons and other atomic nuclei) are believed to gain energies of petaelectronvolts (PeV) and beyond at astrophysical particle accelerators called 'PeVatrons' inside o…

Gamma-ray Observation of the Cygnus Region in the 100 TeV Energy Region

M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +110

We report observations of gamma-ray emissions with energies in the 100 TeV energy region from the Cygnus region in our Galaxy. Two sources are significantly detected in the directi…

First Detection of sub-PeV Diffuse Gamma Rays from the Galactic Disk: Evidence for Ubiquitous Galactic Cosmic Rays beyond PeV Energies

M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +92

We report, for the first time, the long-awaited detection of diffuse gamma rays with energies between 100 TeV and 1 PeV in the Galactic disk. Particularly, all gamma rays above 398…

Measurement of the cosmic-ray proton spectrum from 40 GeV to 100 TeV with the DAMPE satellite

Q. An, R. Asfandiyarov, P. Azzarello +151

The precise measurement of the spectrum of protons, the most abundant component of the cosmic radiation, is necessary to understand the source and acceleration of cosmic rays in th…

First Detection of Photons with Energy Beyond 100 TeV from an Astrophysical Source

M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +88

We report on the highest energy photons from the Crab Nebula observed by the Tibet air shower array with the underground water-Cherenkov-type muon detector array. Based on the crit…
