Februar 12 Some general Requirements for Sources Accelerating particles of charge eZ to energy Emax requires induction ε > Emax/eZ. With Z0 ~ 100Ω the vacuum impedance, this requires dissipation of minimum power of 2 Lmin ✏ 45 ⇠ ' 10 Z Z0 2 ✓ Emax 1020 eV ◆2 erg s 1 This „Poynting“ luminosity can also be obtained from Lmin ~ (BR)2 where BR is given by the „Hillas criterium“: 17 BR > 3 ⇥ 10 1 ✓ Emax /Z 1020 eV ◆ Gauss cm where Γ is a possible beaming factor. If most of this goes into electromagnetic channel, only AGNs and maybe gamma-ray bursts could be consistent with this. 2 Mittwoch, 15.

Confinement, gyroradius < shock size, and energy loss times define maximal energy 3 Mittwoch, 15.

Februar 12 Neutrino Fluxes from Gamma-Ray Bursts GRBs are optically thick to charged cosmic rays and nuclei are disintegrated => only neutrons escape and contribute to the UHECR flux by decaying back into protons Diffuse neutrino flux from GRBs can thus be linked to UHECR flux (if it is dominantly produced by GRBs) 1 ⌫ (E⌫ ) ⇠ ⌘⌫ p ✓ E ⌘⌫ ◆ , where ⌘⌫ ' 0.1 is average neutrino energy in units of the parent proton energy.

Februar 12 29 CRPropa 2.0 CRPropa is a public code for UHE cosmic rays, neutrinos and γ-rays being extended to heavy nuclei and hadronic interactions Eric Armengaud, Tristan Beau, Günter Sigl, Francesco Miniati, Astropart.Phys.28 (2007) 463. Version 1.4 at http://apcauger.in2p3.fr/CRPropa/index.php Now including: Jörg Kulbartz, Luca Maccione, Nils Nierstenhoefer, Karl-Heinz Kampert, Peter Schiffer, Arjen van Vliet ask for beta version CRPropa 2.0 ! 30 Mittwoch, 15. Februar 12 The main part of the code is written in C++ and calls some Fortran routines (mainly SOPHIA for interactions photo-pion production of nucleons) Electromagnetic cascades are treated by solving one-dimensional transport equations The set-up (source distributions, environment, magnetic fields, low energy photon backgrounds, injection spectrum, arbitrary composition at fixed energy per nucleon, which interactions/secondaries to take into account) can be provided with xml files. Output can be in form of whole trajectories or events; possible output formats are ASCII, FITS or ROOT. Presented are two examples for 1D and 3D simulations 31 Mittwoch, 15. Februar 12 Structured Extragalactic Magnetic Fields Miniati Kotera, Olinto, Ann.Rev.Astron.Astrophys. 49 (2011) 119 Filling factors of extragalactic magnetic fields are not well known and come out different in different large scale structure simulations 32 Mittwoch, 15.

Februar 12 Results: Sky Distributions and Anisotropies deflection angles deflection angles above 1 EeV above 55 EeV 36 Mittwoch, 15. Februar 12 Composition and energy dependence of excess from nearby source In the absence of interactions Lemoine and Waxman 2009 (JCAP 11, 009) relate significance of anisotropy in a given sky patch at energies E and E/Z by p (> E/Z) = qp (E/Z) s Z Z (> E) qZ (E) ( +1)/2 provided an E-s spectrum from a nearby source is dominated by protons and Z-nuclei at E/Z and E, respectively, where E-α observed spectrum, qZ(E) = injection composition of nearby source at energy E 37 Mittwoch, 15. Februar 12 Composition and energy dependence of excess from nearby source: simulation results significance of excess within 18 degrees around nearby source Lemoine/Waxman estimate simulations including energy losses with relatively strong fields do not necessarily show strong correlations between anisotropies at different energies => anisotropy may not directly constrain composition 38 Mittwoch, 15. Februar 12 Possible Explanations of anisotropy results interactions break the E/Z degeneracy mixed composition washes out anisotropies nearby and background source fluxes may not be independent since a nearby magnetized source can shield the background flux at low energy thus reducing the excess. Shielding at high energy irrelevant due to GZK effect 39 Mittwoch, 15.

Februar 12 Mapping the Sky at Earth to the Sky outside the Galaxy by backtracing anti-nuclei contour plot of amplification factor for 60 EeV iron nuclei due to Galactic magnetic field: Prouza-Smida model, no turbulence including a turbulent component of strength 4 µG, 50 pc coherence length, extending 3 kpc into halo Giacinti, Kachelriess, Semikoz, Sigl, Astropart.Phys. 35 (2011) 192 41 Mittwoch, 15. Februar 12 Composition and the Transition Galactic/Extragalactic Cosmic Rays turbulent coherence length varied turbulent field strength varied Giacinti, Kachelriess, Semikoz, Sigl, arXiv:1112.5599 Light Galactic Nuclei produce too much anisotropy above ≃ 1018 eV. This implies: 1.) if composition around 1018 eV is light => probably extragalactic (and ankle may be due to pair production by protons) 2.) if composition around 1018 eV is heavy => transition could be at the ankle if Galactic nuclei are produced by sufficiently frequent transients, e.g. magnetars 42 Mittwoch, 15. Februar 12 Distribution of Galactic Sources Contributing to Observed Flux E/Z=1018 eV 19 E/Z=3x10 Giacinti, Kachelriess, Semikoz, Sigl, arXiv:1112.5599 43 Mittwoch, 15. Februar 12 eV Physics Conclusions 1.) Both diffuse cosmogenic neutrino and photon fluxes mostly depend on chemical composition, maximal acceleration energy and redshift evolution of sources 2.) Multi-messenger modeling sources including gamma-rays and neutrinos start to constrain the source and acceleration mechanisms 3.) It is surprisingly difficult to construct simple scenarios with structured sources and magnetic fields that reproduce all observations: spectra, energy dependent composition and anisotropy; to explain them separately is quite easy 44 Mittwoch, 15.
