用GLAST/LAT测量10-1000个GeV Cosmic Ray电子

Measuring 10-1000 GeV Cosmic Ray Electrons with GLAST/LAT

Alexander A. Moiseev, Jonathan F. Ormes, Igor V. Moskalenko

摘要:

我们在这里提出的能力的GLAST大面积望远镜探测宇宙射线高能(HE)电子的能量范围从10 GeV到1 TeV。我们还讨论了可以用HE电子数据进行调查的科学主题,并用LAT仪器模拟量化结果。科学主题包括CR传播,IC伽马射线模型的校准,测试关于HE能量宇宙射线电子起源的假设,寻找Kaluza Klein暗物质湮灭的任何特征,以及测量HE电子各向异性。我们预计在LAT操作中每年将检测到~ 107个20 GeV以上的电子。

英文摘要:

We present here the capabilities of the GLAST Large Area Telescope to detect cosmic ray high-energy (HE) electrons in the energy range from 10 GeV to 1 TeV. We also discuss the science topics that can be investigated with HE electron data and quantify the results with LAT instrument simulations. The science topics include CR propagation, calibration of the IC gamma-ray model, testing hypotheses regarding the origin of HE energy cosmic-ray electrons, searching for any signature of Kaluza Klein Dark Matter annihilation, and measuring the HE electron anisotropy. We expect to detect ~ 107 electrons above 20 GeV per year of LAT operation.
