Acceleration of Heavy Ions at Non-Relativistic Collisionless Shocks
Damiano Caprioli, Luca Orusa, Miha Cernetic +2
We investigate the process of Diffusive Shock Acceleration (DSA) of particles with mass number to charge number ratios , e.g., partially-ionized heavy ions. To this end, w…
New determination of the neutrino hadronic production cross sections from GeV to beyond PeV energies
Luca Orusa, Mattia Di Mauro, Fiorenza Donato
The flux of astrophysical neutrinos is now measured with unprecedented accuracy and over several decades of energy spectrum. Their origin traces back to hadronic collisions between…
Precision cross-sections for advancing cosmic-ray physics. Input to the 2026 ESPPU from the XSCRC community
S. Mariani, L. Audouin, E. Berti +32
The latest generation of cosmic-ray direct detection experiments is providing a wealth of high-precision data, stimulating a very rich and active debate in the community on the rel…
Precision cross-sections for advancing cosmic-ray physics and other applications: a comprehensive programme for the next decade
D. Maurin, L. Audouin, E. Berti +32
Cosmic-ray physics in the GeV-to-TeV energy range has entered a precision era thanks to recent data from space-based experiments. However, the poor knowledge of nuclear reactions,…
