Neznanka, ki na odgovor še čaka
2021, interview

Abstract: Vprašanje, kako in kje nastajajo kozmični delci ekstremnih energij, je odprto že več kot petdeset let. Med najverjetnejšimi kraji njihovega nastanka sodijo aktivna galaktična jedra; to so središča galaksij, v katerih se skrivajo črne luknje, ki požirajo snov iz okolice. V raziskavah mednarodne kolaboracije Pierre Auger sodelujejo tudi slovenski raziskovalci z Univerze v Novi Gorici in Instituta Jožef Stefan.
Keywords: kozmični delci ekstremnih energij, aktivna galaktična jedra, observatorij Pierre Auger, observatorij Cherenkov Telescope Array, CTA

Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array for probing cosmology and fundamental physics with gamma-ray propagation
H. Abdalla, H. Abe, Fabio Acero, A. Acharyya, R. Adam, Christopher Eckner, Samo Stanič, Serguei Vorobiov, Gabrijela Zaharijas, Marko Zavrtanik, Danilo Zavrtanik, Miha Živec, 2021, original scientific article

Abstract: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the new-generation ground-based observatory for γ astronomy, provides unique capabilities to address significant open questions in astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. We study some of the salient areas of γ cosmology that can be explored as part of the Key Science Projects of CTA, through simulated observations of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and of their relativistic jets. Observations of AGN with CTA will enable a measurement of γ absorption on the extragalactic background light with a statistical uncertainty below 15% up to a redshift z=2 and to constrain or detect γ halos up to intergalactic-magnetic-field strengths of at least 0.3 pG . Extragalactic observations with CTA also show promising potential to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. The best limits on Lorentz invariance violation from γ astronomy will be improved by a factor of at least two to three. CTA will also probe the parameter space in which axion-like particles could constitute a significant fraction, if not all, of dark matter. We conclude on the synergies between CTA and other upcoming facilities that will foster the growth of γ cosmology.

Raman LIDARs and atmospheric calibration along the line-of-sight of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Samo Stanič, Longlong Wang, Marko Zavrtanik, 2019, published scientific conference contribution

Abstract: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next generation ground-based observatory for gamma-ray astronomy at very-high energies. Employing more than 100 (north and south sites) Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes in the northern and southern hemispheres, it was designed to reach unprecedented sensitivity and energy resolution. Understanding and correcting for systematic biases on the absolute energy scale and instrument response functions will be a cru- cial issue for the performance of CTA. The Montpellier group and the Spanish/Italian/Slovenian collaboration are currently building two Raman LIDAR prototypes for the online atmospheric cal- ibration along the line-of-sight of the CTA. Requirements for such a solution include the ability to characterize aerosol extinction at two wavelengths to distances up to 30 km with an accuracy better than 5%, within exposure time scales of about a minute, steering capabilities and close interaction with the CTA array control and data acquisition system as well as other auxiliary in- struments. Our Raman LIDARs have design features that make them different from those used in atmospheric science and are characterized by large collecting mirrors (∼2.5 m 2 ), liquid light- guides that collect the light at the focal plane and transport it to the readout system, reduced acquisition time and highly precise Raman spectrometers. The Raman LIDARs will participate in a cross-calibration and characterization campaign of the atmosphere at the CTA North site at La Palma, together with other site characterization instruments. After a one-year test period there, an in-depth evaluation of the solutions adopted by the two projects will lead to a final Raman LIDAR design proposal for both CTA sites.

High-Energy Astroparticle Detection
Lili Yang, invited lecture at foreign university

Abstract: Astroparticle Physics has evolved as a new interdisciplinary field at the intersection of particle physics, astronomy and cosmology, addressing some of the most fundamental questions of contemporary physics. Neutrinos, cosmic rays, gamma rays and also gravitational waves as the cosmic messengers, take the information from the universe to tell us more about those energetic astro phenomena. Physicists have been developing experiments to detect and study these messengers. I would like to talk about the basic ideas and searching results from the dedicate cosmic ray detector Pierre Auger Observatory and also the future performance of Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the next-generation ground based telescope array. CTA will play an very important role in detecting GeV-TeV gamma rays and represents the era of precision gamma ray astronomy. The multi-messenger and multi-wavelength study with various messengers are the main field in astrophysics.
