Precise Measurement of the Cosmic Ray Helium Spectrum above 0.1 PeV
LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +321
We report a measurement of the cosmic ray helium energy spectrum in the energy interval 0.16 -- 13~PeV, derived by subtracting the proton spectrum from the light component~(proton…
Evidence of cosmic-ray acceleration up to sub-PeV energies in the supernova remnant IC 443
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +309
Supernova remnants (SNRs) have been considered as the primary contributors to cosmic rays (CRs) in our Galaxy. However, the maximum energy of particles that can be accelerated by s…
Constraining the Cosmic-ray Energy Based on Observations of Nearby Galaxy Clusters by LHAASO
The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +323
Galaxy clusters act as reservoirs of high-energy cosmic rays (CRs). As CRs propagate through the intracluster medium, they generate diffuse -rays detectable by arrays such as L…
Study of Ultra-High-Energy Gamma-Ray Source 1LHAASO J0056+6346u and Its Possible Origins
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +322
We report a dedicated study of the newly discovered extended UHE -ray source 1LHAASO J0056+6346u. Analyzing 979 days of LHAASO-WCDA data and 1389 days of LHAASO-KM2A data, we o…
Observation of the -ray Emission from W43 with LHAASO
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +322
In this paper, we report the detection of the very-high-energy (VHE, ) and ultra-high-energy (UHE, ) -ray emissions from t…
Precise measurements of the cosmic ray proton energy spectrum in the "knee'' region
The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +310
We report the high-purity identification of cosmic-ray (CR) protons and a precise measurement of their energy spectrum from 0.15 to 12 PeV using the Large High Altitude Air Shower…
