11. Ultra-High energy cosmics-rays and first LHC data

The determination of the primary energy and mass of ultra-high-energy cosmic-rays (UHECR) generating extensive air-showers in the Earth's atmosphere, relies on the detailed modeling of hadronic multiparticle production at center-of-mass (c.m.) collision energies up to two orders of magnitude higher than those studied at particle colliders. The first Large Hadron Collider (LHC) data have...

28. Relativistic shock acceleration simulations and ultra high energy cosmic rays

Dr Athina Meli (Universite Liege)

The shock acceleration mechanism is invoked to explain non-thermal cosmic rays in Supernova Remnants, Active Galactic Nuclei and Gamma Ray Bursts jets. Especially, the importance of relativistic shock acceleration and ultra high energy cosmic ray production in extragalactic sources such as Active Galactic Nuclei and Gamma Ray Bursts is a recurring theme, raising a significant interest in...
