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…

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…
