Prospects for -ray observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster with the Cherenkov Telescope Array

The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium, :, K. Abe +564

Galaxy clusters are expected to be dark matter (DM) reservoirs and storage rooms for the cosmic-ray protons (CRp) that accumulate along the cluster's formation history. Accordingly…

Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to spectral signatures of hadronic PeVatrons with application to Galactic Supernova Remnants

The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium, F. Acero, A. Acharyya +356

The local Cosmic Ray (CR) energy spectrum exhibits a spectral softening at energies around 3~PeV. Sources which are capable of accelerating hadrons to such energies are called hadr…
