2 Plan of the lectures: Today: High energy astrophysics Cosmic rays Observations Acceleration, possible sources High energy photons and neutrinos TeV Blazars Elmag. cascades, EBL and primordial B fields diffuse neutrino flux limits, point sources Wednesday: Dark matter particle candidates detection: direct and indirect

3 1910: Father Wulf measures ionizing radiation in Paris 80m: flux/2

4 1910: Father Wulf measures ionizing radiation in Paris 300m: flux/2 80m: flux/2

5 1912: Victor Hess discovers cosmic rays The results are most easily explained by the assumption that radiation with very high penetrating power enters the atmosphere from above; the Sun can hardly be considered as the source. Hess and Kolhoerster s results: 80 excess ionization altitude/1000m

31 Energy gain ξ (E 2 E 1 )/E 1? Lorentz transformation 1: lab (unprimed) cloud (primed) E 1 = γe 1 (1 β cos ϑ 1 ) where β = V/c and γ = 1/ 1 β 2 Lorentz transformation 2: cloud lab E 2 = γe 2(1 + β cos ϑ 2) scattering off magnetic irregularities is collisionless, the cloud is very massive E 2 = E 1

32 Energy gain ξ (E 2 E 1 )/E 1?

33 Assume: CR scatters off magnetic irregularities many times in cloud its direction is randomized, cos ϑ 2 = 0. collision rate CR cloud: proportional to their relative velocity (v V cos ϑ 1 ): for ultrarelativistic particles, v = c, dn dω 1 (1 β cos ϑ 1 ), and we obtain cos ϑ 1 = dn dn cos ϑ 1 dω 1 / dω 1 = β dω 1 dω 1 3

34 Energy gain ξ for 2.nd order Fermi: Plugging cos ϑ 2 = 0 and cos ϑ 1 = β 3 since β 1. ξ β 2 > 0 energy gain ξ = 1 + β2 /3 1 β β2 into formula for ξ gives O(ξ) = β 2, because β 1: average energy gain is very small ξ depends on drift velocity of clouds
