Ultrahigh energy neutrino scattering onto relic light neutrinos in galactic halo as a possible source of highest energy extragalactic cosmic rays

The diffuse relic neutrinos with light mass are transparent to Ultrahigh energy (UHE) neutrinos at thousands EeV, born by photoproduction of pions by UHE protons on relic 2.73 K BBR radiation and originated in AGNs at cosmic distances. However these UHE $ν$s may interact with those (mainly heaviest $ν_{μ_r}$, $ν_{τ_r}$ and respective antineutrinos) clustered into HDM galactic halos. UHE photons or protons, secondaries of $νν_r$ scattering, might be the final observed signature of such high-energy chain reactions and may be responsible of the highest extragalactic cosmic-ray (CR) events. The chain-reactions conversion efficiency, ramifications and energetics are considered for the October 1991 CR event at 320 EeV observed by the Fly's Eye detector in Utah. These quantities seem compatible with the distance, direction and power (observed at MeV gamma energies) of the Seyfert galaxy MCG 8-11-11. The $νν_r$ interaction probability is favoured by at least three order of magnitude with respect to a direct $ν$ scattering onto the Earth atmosphere. Therefore, it may better explain the extragalactic origin of the puzzling 320 EeV event, while offering indirect evidence of a hot dark galactic halo of light (i.e., $m_ν\sim$ tens eV) neutrinos, probably of tau flavour.

Inverse Compton Scattering on laser beam and monochromatic isotropic radiation

Most of the known literature on Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) is based on earliest theoretical attempts and later approximations led by F.C.Jones and J.B.Blumenthal. We found an independent and more general analytical procedure which provide both relativistic and ultrarelativistic limits for ICS. These new analytical expressions can be derived in a straightforward way and they contain the previously reminded Jones' results. Our detailed solutions may be probed by already existing as well future ICS experiments.

The time evolution of GRB spectra by a precessing lighthouse Gamma Jet

Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) by a relativistic electron beam jet at GeV energies (emitted by a compact object as a NS, BH,...), a NSJ, onto thermal BBR photons (from a nearby stellar companion) may originate a collinear gamma jet (GJ). Due to the binary system interaction the GJ precession would blaze suddenly toward the observer leading to a GRB event. The internal GJ cone structure is ruled by relativistic kinematics into a concentric onion-like sequence of photon rings, the softer in the external boundaries, the harder in the inner cone. The pointing and the crossing of such different GJ photon rings to the detector lead to a GRB hardness spectra evolution nearly corresponding to most observed ones. Moreover expected time integral spectra are also comparable with known GRB spectra. The total energy input of tens of thousands of such NSJ in an extended galactic halo, mainly cosmic rays electrons, should be reflected into the recent observational evidence (COMPTEL) of a diffused relic extended halo. Evidences of such precessing jets are offered by the discover of galactic superluminal sources, recent HH jets, SN1987A outer rings, Hourglass Nebula, planetary Egg Nebula, GROJ1744-28 binary X-rays pulsar.

Inverse Compton Scattering onto BBR in High Energy Physics and Gamma (MeV-Tev) Astrophysics

We considered the Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) of charged particles onto photons whose distribution is a Black Body Radiation (BBR) deriving the exact energy and angular differential distribution in the general case and in its most useful expansions. These results can be successfully applied in high energy accelerators experiments to evaluate the ICS contribution from the thermal photons in the cavity as well as in astrophysics where the ICS of cosmic rays plays a relevant role in a variety of phenomena. In particular we show how our formulae reproduce the ICS energy spectrum recently measured at LEP, how it could be considered a key tool in explaining the Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) , SGRs energy spectrum. Finally we predicted the presence of a low gamma flux, nearly detectable at hundred of TeV from SNRs SN1006 as well as, at lower energy (tens TeV, due to gamma ray cascading in cosmic BBR), from relic extragalactic highest cosmic rays sources born by jets in AGN,as blazars 3C279,Mrk421,Mrk 501.
