Recent Developments within The Cosmic Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO)

This contribution presents the recent research developments within the Cosmic Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO) in the search for resolution of various scientific puzzles, ranging from fundamental physical questions to applications like the determination of earthquake precursors. The state-of-the art theoretical, numerical and computational aspects of these phenomena are addressed, as well as recent experimental developments for detection.

Simulation of the isotropic ultra-high energy photons flux in the solar magnetic field and a comparison with observations made by the HAWC and Fermi-LAT observatories

In this contribution we study the possibility of the formation of cosmic ray ensembles (CRE) created by the interaction of ultra-high energy (UHE) photons with the magnetic field of the Sun. The lack of observation of those UHE and the difficulties for their identification given the current methodologies motivates this study. We performed simulations using the PRESHOWER program in order to simulate the expected extensive air showers which might be spatially correlated generated upon entering the Earth's atmosphere. We found characteristic features like very thing and extremely elongates cascades of secondary photons with their corresponding energies spanning the entire cosmic range spectrum. Shower footprints are as large as hundreds of kilometres. An application of this study is the scenario of gamma-ray emission from the vicinity of the Sun as a result of ultra-high energy photon cascading in the solar magnetic field in order to understand recent observations made by the HAWC and Fermi-LAT observatories.

Relativistic mean field model for ultra-compact low mass neutron star of HESS J1731-347

The recent observation of the object HESS J1731-347 suggests the existence of a very light and very compact neutron star being a challenge for commonly used equation of state for dense matter. In this work we present a relativistic mean field model enriched with meson crossing terms among isovector and isoscalar mesons. Such interactions particularly dominate the behavior of the symmetry energy and accounts for small size of compact star radius. The proposed model fulfill the recent constraints concerning the symmetry energy slope and state-of-the-art compact stars constraints derived from the NICER measurements of PSR J0030+0451 and PSR J0740+6620 pulsars as well as from the GW170817 event and its associated electromagnetic counterparts AT2017gfo/GRB170817A.

Influence of the interactions of scalar mesons on the behavior of the symmetry energy

Symmetry energy behavior of scalar mesons interactions is analyzed within the framework of the standard relativistic mean field model. Whereas the presence of the $δ$ meson itself makes the symmetry energy stiffer, the crossing term $δ\textrm{-}σ$ allows its slope to decrease to the suggested experimental value. Moreover, such controlling of the symmetry energy does not significantly affect the stiffness of the equation of state and acceptable neutron star masses result. Interestingly, for the most plausible value of the symmetry energy slope, the phase transition occurs in the neutron star core.
