HADAR实验对活动星系核伽马射线辐射观测的预期研究

HADAR (High Altitude Detection of Astronomical Radiation)是一个基于大气切伦科夫成像技术的地面望远镜阵列,其采用大口径折射式水透镜系统来收集大气切伦科夫光,以实现对10 GeV—10 TeV能量段的伽马射线和宇宙线的探测.HADAR具有低阈能和大视场的优势,因此可以对天区进行连续扫描和观测,在观测活动星系核(Active Galactic Nuclei,AGN)等银河系外伽马射线源方面具有明显优势.本文研究了HADAR实验对AGN的探测能力.基于费米望远镜(Fermi Large Area Telescope,Fermi-LAT)的AGN源能谱信息,将观测能量外推至甚高能能段,同时加入河外背景光的吸收效应,以计算HADAR对AGN源观测的统计显著性.研究结果显示,HADAR运行一年时间,预计将有31个Fermi-LAT AGN源以高于5倍显著性被观测到,其中大部分为蝎虎状天体类型.     

Cosmic ray electron spectrum due to the dispersion of injection spectrum

The cosmic-ray total electron spectrum(electrons plus positrons) has been measured precisely up to Te V energies,with more interesting features found.Exhaustive analyses of the electron spectrum strongly support a spectral hardening above 100 GeV,rather than a featureless single power-law,which is confirmed by the most recent observations.Meanwhile,the measurements of the DAMPE satellite have verified the presence of a knee-like structure around 1 TeV in the electron spectrum,resembling the cosmic-ray knee.In this paper,we establish a physical model in which the observed electron spectrum is composed of a superposition of CR sources with various spectral indices and high-energy cutoffs.The dispersion of the power index is assumed to be Gaussian,while the cutoff energy Ec follows a power-law distribution.These simple ideas can account naturally for both the hundred-GeV excess and the TeV spectral break.     

Lateral distribution of EAS muons measured for the primary cosmic ray energy around 100 TeV

The muonic component of the extensive air showers (EAS) is of great importance for the astroparticle physics. It carries the information about the properties of primary cosmic ray (CR) particles, such as their mass, and electromagnetic and hadronic nature. It provides a sensitive test for the hadronic interaction models, which are inevitable for describing the cascade shower development of cosmic rays in EAS experiments. The YangBaJing Hybrid Array (YBJ-HA) experiment has been in operation since the end of 2016. Surface detectors are used for the measurements of primary energy, angular direction and core position of a shower event, while underground muon detectors are used for measuring the density of muons at various locations. Using the data obtained by the YBJ-HA experiment,this work reports the first measurement of the lateral muon distribution for the primary cosmic ray energy in the 100TeV region. The punch-through effect is evaluated via MC simulation.
