Gamma rays as leptonic portals to energetic neutrinos: a new Monte Carlo approach
Gaetano Di Marco, Rafael Alves Batista, Miguel A. Sánchez-Conde
High center-of-mass electromagnetic~(EM) interactions could produce decaying heavy leptons and hadrons, leading to neutrino generation. These processes might occur in the most extr…
Ultra-high-energy Cosmic Ray Sources can be Gamma-ray Dim
Angelina Sherman, Ke Fang, Rafael Alves Batista +1
Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, accelerated hadrons that can exceed energies of eV, are the highest-energy particles ever observed. While the sources producing UHECRs are…
Revisiting the propagation of highly-energetic gamma rays in the Galaxy
Gaetano Di Marco, Rafael Alves Batista, Miguel Ãngel Sánchez-Conde
Recent gamma-ray observations have detected photons up to energies of a few PeV. These highly energetic gamma rays are emitted by the most powerful sources in the Galaxy. Propagati…
Spectra for Reactions in Astrophysical Electromagnetic Cascades with Lorentz Invariance Violation: The Vacuum Cherenkov Effect
Andrey Saveliev, Rafael Alves Batista, Feodor Mishin
Lorentz invariance violation is a feature of several quantum gravity models in which Lorentz symmetry is broken at high energies, leading to potential changes in particle behavior…
Simulating Electromagnetic Cascades with Lorentz Invariance Violation
Andrey Saveliev, Rafael Alves Batista
Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) is a phenomenon featuring in various quantum gravity models whereby Lorentz symmetry is broken at high energies, potentially impacting the behavi…
