High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 1963
The search for gamma radiation with energy greater than 50 Mev from extraterrestrial sources has resulted in some of the most interesting and most difficult balloon and spacecraft experiments. The present status of this search is reviewed. The first attempt to detect this radiation from solar flares resulted in no increase of the counting rate above ...

High Energy Cosmic Ray Astronomy

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1996
A brief introduction to High Energy Cosmic Ray Astronomy is presented. This field covers a 17 decade energy range (2×10 4 – 10 20 ) eV. Recent discoveries done with gamma-ray detectors on-board satellites and ground-based Cherenkov devices are pushing for a fast development of new and innovative techniques, specially in the low energy region which ...

High energy astronomy program at UCSD

Advances in Space Research, 1994
Abstract The High Energy Astronomy program at UCSD consists of several elements, including laboratory development of detector systems, balloon flights to test detector concepts and to make basic observations of cosmic sources, space flights to make extended observations at high sensitivity, and data analysis.

The case for high energy neutrino astronomy

Nuclear Physics A, 2009
Abstract The detection of MeV neutrinos from the Sun enabled direct observations of nuclear reactions in the core of the Sun, as well as studies of fundamental neutrino properties. The main goal of the construction of high energy, >1 TeV, neutrino telescopes is to extend the distance accessible to neutrino astronomy to cosmological scales.

Gamma Ray Astronomy at High Energies

2000
The recently developed field of high energy γ-ray astronomy (above 30 MeV) is reviewed in terms of the techniques used, the observations reported and future prospects for the field. Galactic and extragalactic sources have been detected up to energies of 50 TeV.

High Energy Neutrino and Gamma-Ray Astronomy

2010
There are at least three arguments why we need a new type of astronomy — high energy neutrino astronomy. Low energy (MeV) neutrino astronomy exists. It detected the neutrinos from SN 1987a and continuously monitors the emission of solar neutrinos in different energy ranges.

Cosmic Rays: High Energy Astronomy

1969
To-day one investigates primary cosmic rays, before they have started to interact with the material of the Earth’s atmosphere, by use of balloons, rockets and artificial satellites. They include protons, α-particles and heavy nuclei. By means of tracks in photographic emulsions, one can determine their charge-number Z and then one finds the following ...

Towards High-Energy Neutrino Astronomy

2012
The search for the sources of cosmic rays is a three-fold assault, using charged cosmic rays, gamma rays and neutrinos. The first conceptual ideas to detect high energy neutrinos date back to the late fifties. The long evolution towards detectors with a realistic discovery potential started in the seventies and eighties, with the pioneering works in ...
