A new air shower array in the Southern Hemisphere looking for the origins of Cosmic rays: the ALPACA experiment
M. Anzorena, E. de la Fuente, K. Fujita +53
The Tibet AS experiment successfully detected sub-PeV -rays from the Crab nebula using a Surface Array and underground muon detector. Considering this, we are building in Bol…
Detectability of southern gamma-ray sources beyond 100 TeV with ALPAQUITA, the prototype experiment of ALPACA
S. Kato, C. A. H. Condori, E. dela Fuente +47
Andes Large-area PArticle detector for Cosmic-ray physics and Astronomy (ALPACA) is an international experiment that applies southern very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy to…
Potential PeVatron supernova remnant G106.3+2.7 seen in the highest-energy gamma rays
M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +92
Cosmic rays (protons and other atomic nuclei) are believed to gain energies of petaelectronvolts (PeV) and beyond at astrophysical particle accelerators called 'PeVatrons' inside o…
Gamma-ray Observation of the Cygnus Region in the 100 TeV Energy Region
M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +110
We report observations of gamma-ray emissions with energies in the 100 TeV energy region from the Cygnus region in our Galaxy. Two sources are significantly detected in the directi…
First Detection of sub-PeV Diffuse Gamma Rays from the Galactic Disk: Evidence for Ubiquitous Galactic Cosmic Rays beyond PeV Energies
M. Amenomori, Y. W. Bao, X. J. Bi +92
We report, for the first time, the long-awaited detection of diffuse gamma rays with energies between 100 TeV and 1 PeV in the Galactic disk. Particularly, all gamma rays above 398…
Measurement of the Proton-Air Cross Section with Telescope Array's Black Rock Mesa and Long Ridge Fluorescence Detectors, and Surface Array in Hybrid Mode
R. U. Abbasi, M. Abe, T. Abu-Zayyad +140
Ultra high energy cosmic rays provide the highest known energy source in the universe to measure proton cross sections. Though conditions for collecting such data are less controll…
