Acceleration of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays in starburst superwinds

LA Anchordoqui - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
The sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) have been stubbornly elusive.
However, the latest report of the Pierre Auger Observatory provides a compelling indication …

Ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray composition from the distribution of arrival directions

RC Dos Anjos, JF Soriano, LA Anchordoqui, TC Paul… - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
The sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) have been difficult to catch. It was
recently pointed out that while sources of UHECR protons exhibit anisotropy patterns that …

Cosmic mass spectrometer

LA Anchordoqui, V Barger, TJ Weiler - Journal of High Energy Astrophysics, 2018 - Elsevier
We argue that if ultrahigh-energy (E≳ 10 10 GeV) cosmic rays are heavy nuclei (as indicated
by existing data), then the pointing of cosmic rays to their nearest extragalactic sources is …

Evidence for UHECR origin in starburst galaxies

LA Anchordoqui, JF Soriano - arXiv preprint arXiv:1905.13243, 2019 - arxiv.org
The quest for the origin (s) of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) continues to be a far-
reaching pillar of high energy astrophysics. The source scrutiny is mostly based on three …

[PDF][PDF] Constraining models of the extragalactic cosmic ray origin with the Pierre Auger Observatory

D Walz - 2016 - inspirehep.net
Our planet is constantly hit by a stream of energetic subatomic particles, which are known as
'cosmic rays'. These particles are mostly protons, but also heavier nuclei, as well as small …
