The Next Generation of Cherenkov Telescopes. A White Paper for the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF)
L. A. Antonelli, P. Blasi, G. Bonanno +15
Motivated by the recent challenging results from TeV astronomy, the VHE INAF community asked a group of them to write this White Paper to summarize the status and future of Cherenk…
Identifying Nearby UHECR Accelerators using UHE (and VHE) Photons
A. M. Taylor, J. A. Hinton, P. Blasi +1
Ultra-high energy photons (UHE, E > 10^19 eV) are inevitably produced during the propagation of 10^20 eV protons in extragalactic space. Their short interaction lengths (<20 Mpc) a…
High-energy antiprotons from old supernova remnants
Pasquale Blasi, Pasquale D. Serpico
A recently proposed model (arXiv:0903.2794) explains the rise in energy of the positron fraction measured by the PAMELA satellite in terms of hadronic production of positrons in ag…
The origin of the positron excess in cosmic rays
Pasquale Blasi
We show that the positron excess measured by the PAMELA experiment in the region between 10 and 100 GeV may well be a natural consequence of the standard scenario for the origin of…
High energy emission from galaxy clusters and particle acceleration due to MHD turbulence
G. Brunetti, P. Blasi, R. Cassano +1
In the next years the FERMI gamma ray telescope and the Cherenkov telescopes will put very stringent constraints to models of gamma ray emission from galaxy clusters providing cruc…
