Particle Energization in Space Plasmas: Towards a Multi-Point, Multi-Scale Plasma Observatory. A White Paper for the Voyage 2050 long-term plan in the ESA's Science Programme

Alessandro Retino, Yuri Khotyaintsev, Olivier Le Contel +26

This White Paper outlines the importance of addressing the fundamental science theme <<How are charged particles energized in space plasmas>> through a future ESA mission. The Whit…

Propagation of galactic cosmic rays in the presence of self-generated turbulence

R. Aloisio, P. Blasi

Cosmic rays propagating in the Galaxy may excite a streaming instability when their motion is super-alfvenic, thereby producing the conditions for their own diffusion. In this pape…

Observation of the suppression of the flux of cosmic rays above 4x10^19eV

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

The energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 2.5x10^18eV, derived from 20,000 events recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory, is described. The spectral index gamma of the flux, J ~ E…

Upper limit on the cosmic-ray photon flux above 10^19 eV using the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

A method is developed to search for air showers initiated by photons using data recorded by the surface detector of the Auger Observatory. The approach is based on observables sens…

Upper limit on the diffuse flux of UHE tau neutrinos from the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to Earth-skimming tau-neutrinos that interact in the Earth's crust. Tau leptons from charged-cur…

Correlation of the highest energy cosmic rays with nearby extragalactic objects

The Pierre Auger Collaboration

Using data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory during the past 3.7 years, we demonstrated a correlation between the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energy above ~ 6x10…
