6 99 Years from Discovery : What is our current picture on Cosmic Rays? #5 How do Cosmic Rays gain their energy? Presented by Nahee Park

7 #4 Looking at the universe through different glasses I. Electromagnetic radiation II. Interactions of EM radiation III. Connection to Cosmic Rays

8 #4 Looking at the universe through different glasses I. Electromagnetic radiation - Covering wide energy range - more than 15 decades order!(radio, infra-red, visible light, ultra-violet, X-ray, gamma-ray) II. Interactions of EM radiation - Photoelectric effect - Compton scattering - Pair production III. Connection to Cosmic Rays - Full understanding of interactions of cosmic rays ( e.g. air shower) - EMR can provide information of cosmic rays origin ( EMR is not bending in magnetic field and we know what can create them by understanding the interactions!)

17 Additional points to fit in... Items need to be explained Should cover the wide range of cosmic rays fluxes Should explain stable fluxes of cosmic rays Should explain smooth curvature of fluxes of cosmic rays Should explain characteristics of cosmic rays Knee, Ankle Should explain proton dominant composition of cosmic rays

18 Acceleration Theory by Enrico Fermi Acceleration mechanism by Enrico Fermi (1949) Particle can gain small amount of energy in average when it is reflected by a cloud, which contains turbulent magnetic field (Elastic collision) The longer it stays, particle will gain higher energy [Movie] Strange case of the cosmic rays (1957) Magnetized cloud

19 Shock Acceleration Theory If there is a plane shock wave (with magnetic field) moving with high speed, then particle can gain energy by crossing the shock front downstream upstream Shock wave * Faster acceleration then magnetic cloud s case * Provide prediction of slope in cosmic rays fluxes

20 Conditions for Acceleration Site Should have Magnetic field strong enough to hold particles until it reaches high energy High speed shock wave There should be enough amount of acceleration sites in the galaxy with considerably stable supply

21 Acceleration Candidate Site Supernova Remnant [animation] A supernova remnant is the structure resulting from the explosion of a massive star the supernova. A supernova remnant is bound by an expanding shock wave ejected material expanding from the explosion the interstellar material it sweeps up and shocks along the way. Shock wave speed : 1,000 ~ 10,000 km/s Magnetic field strength : 10 μg ~ several mg? Maximum possible accelerating energy ~ Z ev Tycho supernova remnant low energy x-ray (hot expanding debris) : red high energy x-ray (high energy electron) : blue
