Characterizing upward lightning with and without a terrestrial gamma-ray flash
D. M. Smith, G. S. Bowers, M. Kamogawa +5
We compare two observations of gamma-rays before, during, and after lightning flashes initiated by upward leaders from a tower during low-altitude winter thunderstorms on the weste…
Positron clouds within thunderstorms
Joseph R. Dwyer, David M. Smith, Bryna J. Hazelton +5
We report the observation of two isolated clouds of positrons inside an active thunderstorm. These observations were made by the Airborne Detector for Energetic Lightning Emissions…
Compton scattering in terrestrial gamma-ray flashes detected with the Fermi gamma-ray burst monitor
Gerard Fitzpatrick, Eric Cramer, Sheila McBreen +11
Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are short intense flashes of gamma rays associated with lightning activity in thunderstorms. Using Monte Carlo simulations of the relativistic…
High-energy radiation from thunderstorms and lightning with LOFT
M. Marisaldi, D. M. Smith, S. Brandt +15
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
