Determination of intergalactic magnetic fields from gamma ray data
Warren Essey, Shin'ichiro Ando, Alexander Kusenko
We report a measurement of intergalactic magnetic fields using combined data from Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes and Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, based on the spectral data a…
Role of line-of-sight cosmic ray interactions in forming the spectra of distant blazars in TeV gamma rays and high-energy neutrinos
Warren Essey, Oleg Kalashev, Alexander Kusenko +1
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) can produce both gamma rays and cosmic rays. The observed high-energy gamma-ray signals from distant blazars may be dominated by secondary gamma rays p…
Ultrahigh-energy nuclei, photons, and magnetic fields
Alexander Kusenko
Combined recent data from cosmic-ray detectors and gamma-ray detectors have produced some surprising insights regarding the sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), magnet…
Past Galactic GRBs, and the origin and composition of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays
Alexander Kusenko
Recent results from the Pierre Auger Observatory show energy dependent chemical composition of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) with a growing fraction of heavy elements at hig…
Collider signatures of sterile neutrinos in models with a gauge-singlet Higgs
Ian M. Shoemaker, Kalliopi Petraki, Alexander Kusenko
Sterile neutrinos have been invoked to explain the observed neutrino masses, but they can also have significant implications for cosmology and accelerator experiments. We explore t…
Dark Matter from Split Seesaw
Alexander Kusenko, Fuminobu Takahashi, Tsutomu T. Yanagida
The seesaw mechanism in models with extra dimensions is shown to be generically consistent with a broad range of Majorana masses. The resulting democracy of scales implies that the…
Evidence for Gamma-Ray Halos Around Active Galactic Nuclei and the First Measurement of Intergalactic Magnetic Fields
Shin'ichiro Ando, Alexander Kusenko
Intergalactic magnetic fields (IGMF) can cause the appearance of halos around the gamma-ray images of distant objects because an electromagnetic cascade initiated by a high-energy…
Role of Galactic sources and magnetic fields in forming the observed energy-dependent composition of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays
Antoine Calvez, Alexander Kusenko, Shigehiro Nagataki
Recent results from Pierre Auger Observatory, showing energy dependent chemical composition of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with a growing fraction of heavy elements at hi…
On the use of X-ray and gamma-ray telescopes for identifying the origin of electrons and positrons observed by ATIC, Fermi, and PAMELA
Antoine Calvez, Warren Essey, Malcolm Fairbairn +2
X-ray and gamma-ray observations can help understand the origin of the electron and positron signals reported by ATIC, PAMELA, PPB-BETS, and Fermi. It remains unclear whether the o…
Can past gamma-ray bursts explain both INTEGRAL and ATIC/PAMELA/Fermi anomalies simultaneously?
Antoine Calvez, Alexander Kusenko
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been invoked to explain both the 511 keV emission from the galactic bulge and the high-energy positron excess inferred from the ATIC, PAMELA, and Fermi…
Interactions of keV sterile neutrinos with matter
Shin'ichiro Ando, Alexander Kusenko
A sterile neutrino with mass of several keV is a well-motivated dark-matter candidate, and it can also explain the observed velocities of pulsars via anisotropic emission of steril…
Searching for dark matter in X-rays: how not to check the dark matter origin of a spectral feature
Alexander Kusenko, Michael Loewenstein
In a recent preprint entitled "Searching for dark matter in X-rays: how to check the dark matter origin of a spectral feature" [arXiv:1001.0644v1], the authors have claimed that so…
