2 2 Cosmic rays: messages and messengers
3 Cosmic rays are very important! 3 Key subject in astrophysics! One of the main components of the Galaxy (> 1 ev/cm 3 ) CRs control the ionization of the interstellar medium + heating + turbulent magnetic field + astro-chemistry CRs regulate star formation + LiBeB nucleosynthesis! + biological evolution! Still very poorly understood Sources are unknown! (even at low energy!) Key problem slowing down the progress of high-energy astrophysics and astroparticle physics
4 Main questions 4 What are the sources of the cosmic rays? What is the acceleration mechanism? What is the role of cosmic rays in the Galactic ecology? + Can we use them to learn something about the sources? Physical conditions Dynamics Power Energy and EM/hadron balance Source history cloud tomography Structure of the ISM
5 5 A few grams of matter Cosmic rays (CRs) = high-energy nuclei filling the whole Galaxy and even the extragalactic space Cosmic rays make the Earth heavier with matter coming from distant galaxies! in a world of light All that is known about the universe is deduced from the observation of photons (+ knowledge of physical laws!) the astronomical messenger except for a few non-photonic particles : cosmic rays! new messengers new messages? (But with CRs, the messenger itself is mysterious!)
6 6 Matter? What is it worth? Photons: energy arrival direction energy spectrum angular spectrum Cosmic rays: energy arrival direction nuclear type energy spectrum angular spectrum mass spectrum
7 The CR problem 7
8 The CR problem 8 Cosmic rays are not rays! We are blinded by a magnetic mist! Larmor radius: r g = 1 pc E PeV B µg -1 Z ev
9 9
10 The CR problem suggests its own solution 10 low energy higher energy even higher energy still higher energy
11 11 The way out of the mist Turn cosmic rays into real rays (that go straight!) Turn charged CR into neutral particles Interactions with ambient medium : secondary photons + secondary neutrinos Go to the highest energies, to overcome magnetic deflection How high? Do CRs with high enough energies exist? Are they observationally accessible?
12 CRs: an amazing natural phenomenon! 12
13 CRs: an amazing natural phenomenon! 13
14 UHECRs: extremely rare, but not inexistent! 14 1 part/m 2 /s 1 part/m 2 /year knee Limit for satellites ankle 1 /km 2 /century!
15 15 Observing cosmic rays
16 16 Observing cosmic rays The solar modulation effect Key problem 1: only secondary particles at ground level Key problem 2: extremely low fluxes at high E
17 17 Observing cosmic rays The solar modulation effect Key problem 1: only secondary particles at ground level Key problem 2: extremely low fluxes at high E (Key problem 3: I m not an expert!)
18 18 Most CRs are NOT observed Most of the CR energy is carried by low-energy CRs (LECRs), which do not make it to the Earth! The solar modulation effect Interaction of the charged cosmic rays with the magnetized wind of the Sun equivalent electric field energy losses + outward flow (at very low E: thermalization before reaching the heliosphere!)

26 High energy CRs 26 The flux is too low for a balloon or satellite detection on-ground detectors indirect detection :-( High-Energy CRs produce extensive atmospheric showers Particle cascades developing at ~ the speed of light accross the astmosphere, hitting large surfaces on the ground and exciting molecules over large volume detect the showers instead of the cosmic rays reconstruct the showers, i.e. infer the energy, arrival direction and mass of the incoming particle Surface detectors (SD) vs Fluorescence detectors (FD) detect the particles in the shower detect the fluorescence light from the excited molecules

66 66 High-E/low-E interplay 1- Galactic/Extragalactic transition 2- Same source/mechanism?
67 Viability conditions of a holistic model 67 Assume there is only one type of sources producing cosmic rays at all energies --> their physical properties (spectrum, power, composition) must be able to explain both galactic AND extragalactic fluxes [No freedom on the relative normalisation of the Gal. and extragal. components] Each galaxy injects CRs at a rate: In the Galaxy Outside the Galaxy
68 Viability conditions of a holistic model 68 Cosmological evolution of sources: f(z)
69 Viability conditions of a holistic model 69 Each galaxy injects CRs at a rate: In the Galaxy Outside the Galaxy
70 Viability conditions of a holistic model 70 A single free parameter : the slope of the source sprectrum, E x Galactic flux known, say, at 1 GeV Extragalactic flux known, say at ev Astrophysical parameters solution: α 2.23 ± 0.07!
71 71 A striking result A single free parameter: source spectrum in E -2.2 E -2.3 Now this is already known to be the best fit at low energy (standard phenomenology of the galactic CR + diffusion theory) This is also the best fit at high energy, if one does not neglect the nuclei in the CR sources (just as required for a holistic model!) (This is also the source spectrum predicted by the acceleration models involving a relativistic shock wave) That may be a coincidence, but it nevertheless shows that there is some interest in considering cosmic-rays globally
72 72 There is NO standard model for cosmic rays Please don t oversell supernova remnants! ;-)

79 Conclusions 79 CR sources are unknown at ALL energies! The majority of the CRs, and especially those most relevant to the science of the interstellar medium, are NOT observed! just unknown! + don t forget Li, Be and B don t rely on common thoughts Low-E CRs are Galactic, High-E CRs are extragalactic, but where does the transition occur? depends on composition UHECRs are challenging, but can be very helpful: high rigidity individual source identification! UHECR phenomenology is rich; composition is very important All CRs could be coming from the same sources, perhaps unknown yet!!! The common picture is not a standard model: not supported by observations, and sometimes in contradiction with them! Beware: energetic particle is different from cosmic ray
