Mass composition of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays from distribution of their arrival directions with the Telescope Array

RU Abbasi, Y Abe, T Abu-Zayyad, M Allen, Y Arai… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We use a new method to estimate the injected mass composition of ultrahigh cosmic rays
(UHECRs) at energies higher than 10 EeV. The method is based on comparison of the …

A nearby source of ultra-high energy cosmic rays

MY Kuznetsov - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract Recently the Telescope Array collaboration reported an observation of cosmic ray
event with very high energy 244 EeV (2.44× 10 20 eV). Importantly, the event is hard to …

[HTML][HTML] Has telescope array discovered electroweak monopole?

YM Cho, FH Cho - Physics Letters B, 2024 - Elsevier
We propose the ultra high energy cosmic ray recently detected by Telescope Array to be the
electroweak monopole, and present theoretical arguments which support this. This strongly …

Scale invariant extension of the Standard Model: a nightmare scenario in cosmology

M Aoki, J Kubo, J Yang - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Inflationary observables of a classically scale invariant model, in which the origin of the
Planck mass and the electroweak scale including the right-handed neutrino mass is chiral …

Isotropy of Cosmic Rays beyond Favors Their Heavy Mass Composition

RU Abbasi, Y Abe, T Abu-Zayyad, M Allen, Y Arai… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We report an estimation of the injected mass composition of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays
(UHECRs) at energies higher than 10 EeV. The composition is inferred from an energy …

An isotropic full-sky sample of optically selected blazars

Context. Various high-energy phenomena in the Universe are associated with blazars,
which are powerful active galaxies with jets pointing at the observer. Novel results relating …

Monopole acceleration in intergalactic magnetic fields

D Perri, K Bondarenko, M Doro, T Kobayashi - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We provide a comprehensive analysis of the acceleration of magnetic monopoles in
intergalactic magnetic fields. We demonstrate that monopoles with intermediate to low …

Superradiant Instability of Magnetic Black Holes

D Pereñiguez, M de Amicis, R Brito… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Black hole superradiance has proven being very valuable in several realms of gravitational
physics, and holds a promising discovery potential. In this paper, we show how it can sheed …

The case for Centaurus A as the main source of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays

S Mollerach, E Roulet - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.19199, 2024 - arxiv.org
We discuss the possibility that a dominant fraction of the cosmic rays above the ankle is due
to a single nearby source, considering in particular the radio galaxy Centaurus A. We focus …
