Thermal Particle Injection in Nonlinear Diffusive Shock Acceleration

Donald C. Ellison, Pasquale Blasi, Stefano Gabici

Particle acceleration in collisionless astrophysical shocks, i.e., diffusive shock acceleration (DSA), is the most likely mechanism for producing cosmic rays, at least below 10^{15…

Theoretical Aspects of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays

Pasquale Blasi

We review the basic ideas on the origin of cosmic rays with energy in excess of eV, in the light of the most recent observational findings. The limited statistics of…

Low Statistics of EHECRs

Angela V. Olinto, Daniel De Marco, Pasquale Blasi

The nature of the unknown sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays can be revealed through the detection of the GZK feature in the cosmic ray spectrum. The only two experiments tha…

Detectability of Space-Time Fluctuations in Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray Experiments

R. Aloisio, P. Blasi, A. Galante +2

It is generally expected that quantum gravity affects the structure of space-time by introducing stochastic fluctuations in the geometry, and, ultimately, in the measurements of fo…

Gamma rays from clusters of galaxies

Pasquale Blasi

The search for gamma radiation in clusters of galaxies represents a precious tool to investigate the history of these large scale structures. Clusters or sources within them accele…

The highest energy particles in the universe: the mystery and its possible solutions

Pasquale Blasi

The universe should be dark at energies exceeding eV. This simple but solid prediction of our best known particle physics is not confirmed by observations, t…
