  2. 1. Cosmic rays and shock physics in gamma-ray bursts

    Author : Filip Samuelsson; Felix Ryde; Robert Mochkovitch; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; astrophysics; gamma-ray bursts; cosmic rays; radiation-mediated shocks; Atomic; Subatomic and Astrophysics; Atomär fysik; subatomär fysik och astrofysik;

    Abstract : Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous events in the known universe. Due to their tremendous energy output, they serve as laboratories of physics far beyond anything that we can hope to achieve in terrestrial experiments. READ MORE

  4. 2. Multi-messenger emission from gamma-ray bursts

    Author : Filip Samuelsson; Felix Ryde; Peter Mészáros; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; astrophysics; gamma-ray bursts; cosmic rays; Atomic; Subatomic and Astrophysics; Atomär fysik; subatomär fysik och astrofysik;

    Abstract : Multi-messenger astronomy is a very hot topic in the astrophysical community. A messenger is something that carries information. Different astrophysical messenger types are photons, cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gravitational waves. They all carry unique and complementary information to one another. READ MORE

  5. 3. Study of Two-Photon processes at low Q2 using the VSAT calorimeter in the DELPHI experiment

    Author : Pavel Tyapkin; Partikel- och kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; högenergi; QCD; STIC; VSAT; DELPHI; LEP; antitag; double tag; single tag; photon structure function; hadronic cross-section; virtual photons; two-photon; gamma-gamma; Kosmisk strålning; cosmic rays; High energy interactions; PHOJET; TWOGAM; PYTHIA; VDM; GSP; Fysicumarkivet A:2004:Tyapkin;

    Abstract : The study is based on data collected at the LEP II accelerator during the second period of the Large Electron-Positron collider operations (1996-2000). During that time the DELPHI (DEtector with Lepton, Photon and Hadron Identification) experiment collected about 90 Gb of data on tape corresponding to 687-691 pb-1 of luminosity. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cosmic dust and heavy neutrinos

    Author : Erik Elfgren; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysik; Fysik;

    Abstract : This Doctoral thesis treats two subjects. The first subject is the impact of early dust on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The dust that is studied comes from the first generation of stars, which were hot and short-lived, ending their lives as giant supernovae. READ MORE

  7. 5. PoGOLite : The Polarised Gamma-ray Observer

    Author : Cecilia Marini Bettolo; Mark Pearce; Christian Bohm; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : PoGOLite is a balloon-borne experiment which will study polarised soft gamma-ray emission from astrophysical targets in the 25 keV – 80 keV energy range by applying well-type phoswich detector technology. Polarised gamma-rays are expected from a wide variety of sources including rotation-powered pulsars, accreting black holes and neutron stars, and jet-dominated active galaxies. READ MORE
