A Geant4 Fano test for novel very high energy electron beams
Abstract Objective. The boundary crossing algorithm available in Geant4 10.07-p01 general purpose Monte Carlo code has been investigated for a 12 and 200 MeV electron source by the application of a Fano cavity test. Approach. Fano conditions were enforced

Inefficient Cosmic-Ray Diffusion around Vela X: Constraints from H.E.S.S. Observations of Very High-energy Electrons [PDF]
Vela X is a nearby pulsar wind nebula (PWN) powered by a ∼104 year old pulsar. Modeling of the spectral energy distribution of the Vela X PWN has shown that accelerated electrons have largely escaped from the confinement, which is likely due to the ...

Extended Very-High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission Surrounding PSR J0622+3749 Observed by LHAASO-KM2A. [PDF]
We report the discovery of an extended very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray source around the location of the middle-aged (207.8 kyr) pulsar PSR J0622+3749 with the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO).

Focused VHEE (very high energy electron) beams and dose delivery for radiotherapy applications [PDF]
AbstractThis paper presents the first demonstration of deeply penetrating dose delivery using focused very high energy electron (VHEE) beams using quadrupole magnets in Monte Carlo simulations. We show that the focal point is readily modified by linearly changing the quadrupole magnet strength only.

High-resolution maps of the characteristic energy of precipitating auroral particles [PDF]
For the first time we produce high-resolution maps of the characteristic energy of precipitating electrons from ground-based instrumentation in the auroral zone over northern Scandinavia. This is done by combining intensity-calibrated optical data at 557.

Radiative corrections to very high energy electron-proton scattering
Abstract A “leading log” analysis of radiative corrections to inclusive ep scattering at HERA energies is presented. Neutral current weak interactions are considered at the level of the Born cross section as well as of the modifications of vertex and vacuum polarization parts.

Ionization Loss near the Origin of an Electron Pair of Very High Energy [PDF]
Ionization loss of negatron-positron pair is calculated as a function of their distance. This resudt will be usefud to measure the energy of a gamma ray above 10/sup 10/ ev from the reduction of ionization near the origin of the created pair. The reduction is due to the interference between the electromagnetic field of negatron and that of positron.

Density and temperature of energetic electrons in the Earth's magnetotail derived from high-latitude GPS observations during the declining phase of the solar cycle [PDF]
Single relativistic-Maxwellian fits are made to high-latitude GPS-satellite observations of energetic electrons for the period January 2006-November 2010; a constellation of 12 GPS space vehicles provides the observations. The derived fit parameters (for

DIFFUSE HARD X-RAY EMISSION IN STARBURST GALAXIES AS SYNCHROTRON FROM VERY HIGH ENERGY ELECTRONS [PDF]
The origin of the diffuse hard X-ray (2–10 keV) emission from starburst galaxies is a long-standing problem. We suggest that synchrotron emission of 10–100 TeV electrons and positrons (e±) can contribute to this emission, because starbursts have strong ...
