42 Exploring the memory of structure formation Overview of non-thermal emission processes Radio synchrotron emission Gamma-ray emission So far, we were asking how the CR pressure modifies thermal cluster observables such as the X-ray emission and the Sunyaev-Zel dovich effect of clusters. These processes tell us only very indirectly (if at all) about the history of structure formation. In contrast, non-thermal processes retain their cosmic memory since their particle population is not in equilibrium. How can we read out this information about non-thermal populations? new era of multi-frequency experiments, e.g.: LOFAR: European interferometric array of radio telescopes at low frequencies (ν (1 24) MHz) Astrosat: Indian satellite that images soft and hard X-rays (E (.3 1) kev) Glast: international high-energy γ-ray space mission (E (.2 3) GeV)

65 Summary Introduction to galaxy clusters Overview of non-thermal emission processes Radio synchrotron emission Gamma-ray emission CR physics modifies the intracluster medium in merging clusters and cooling core regions: Galaxy cluster X-ray emission is enhanced up to 3%, systematic effect in low-mass cooling core clusters. Integrated Sunyaev-Zel dovich effect remains largely unchanged while the Compton-y profile is more peaked. LOFAR is expected to see the radio web emission: origin of cosmic magnetic fields. Glast should see hadronic γ-ray emission from clusters: measurement of CR protons and origin of radio halos. exciting experiments allow a complementary view on structure formation as well as fundamental physics!
