An extreme particle accelerator powered by pulsar PSR J1849-0001
The LHAASO Collaboration
Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are bubbles of relativistic particles, powered by the rotational energy loss of the central pulsars. The Crab Nebula, powered by the Milky Way's most ene…
Energy calibration of LHAASO-KM2A using the cosmic ray Moon shadow
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +323
We present a precise measurement of the westward, rigidity-dependent shift of the Moon's shadow using three and a half years of cosmic-ray data collected by the Kilometer Square Ar…
Transient Large-Scale Anisotropy in TeV Cosmic Rays due to an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +309
Large- or medium-scale cosmic ray anisotropy at TeV energies has not previously been confirmed to vary with time. Transient anisotropy changes have been observed below 150 GeV, esp…
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…
Monitoring the daily variation of Sun-Earth magnetic fields using galactic cosmic rays
The LHAASO Collaboration, C. W. Jiang, Y. Yang
The interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) between the Sun and Earth is an extension of the solar magnetic field carried by the solar wind into interplanetary space. Monitoring variat…
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…
