11. Extrapolating FR-0 radio galaxy source properties from propagation of multi-messenger ultra-high energy cosmic raysJon Paul Lundquist, Lukas Merten, Serguei Vorobiov, Margot Boughelilba, Anita Reimer, Paolo Da Vela, Fabrizio Tavecchio, Giacomo Bonnoli, Chiara Righi, 2021, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: Recently, it has been shown that relatively low luminosity Fanaroff-Riley type 0 (FR-0) radio galaxies are a good candidate source class for a predominant fraction of cosmic rays (CR) accelerated to ultra-high energies (UHE, E>10[sup]18 eV). FR-0s can potentially provide a significant fraction
of the UHECR energy density as they are much more numerous in the local universe than more energetic radio galaxies such as FR-1s or FR-2s (up to a factor of ∼5 with z≤0.05 compared to
FR-1s).
In the present work, UHECR mass composition and energy spectra at the FR-0 sources are estimated by fitting simulation results to the published Pierre Auger Observatory data. This fitting is done using a simulated isotropic sky distribution extrapolated from the measured FR-0 galaxy properties and propagating CRs in plausible extragalactic magnetic field configurations using the CRPropa3 framework. In addition, we present estimates of the fluxes of secondary photons and neutrinos created in UHECR interactions with cosmic photon backgrounds during
CR propagation. With this approach, we aim to investigate the properties of the sources with the help of observational multi-messenger data.

12. Constraints on the diffuse photon flux with energies above 10^18 eV using the surface detector of the Telescope Array experimentR.U. Abbasi, Jon Paul Lundquist, 2018, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: We present the results of the search for ultra-high-energy photons with nine years of data from the Telescope Array surface detector. A multivariate classifier is built upon 16 reconstructed parameters of the extensive air shower. These parameters are related to the curvature and the width of the shower front, the steepness of the lateral distribution function, and the timing parameters of the waveforms sensitive to the shower muon content. A total number of two photon candidates found in the search is fully compatible with the expected background. The 95% CL limits on the diffuse flux of the photons with energies greater than 10^18.0, 10^18.5, 10^19.0, 10^19.5 and 10^20.0 eV are set at the level of 0.067, 0.012, 0.0036, 0.0013, correspondingly.

15. Update of the neutrino and photon limits from the Pierre Auger ObservatoryCarla Bleve, Andrej Filipčič, Gašper Kukec Mezek, Ahmed Saleh, Samo Stanič, Marta Trini, Darko Veberič, Serguei Vorobiov, Lili Yang, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2015, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: Ultra-high energy neutrinos and photons, with energies above
1 EeV and 10 EeV respectively, can be detected with the Surface
Detector array (SD) of the Pierre Auger Observatory. Downward-
going neutrinos of all flavours interacting in the atmosphere
at zenith angles θ > 60◦, upward-going tau neutrinos (“Earth-
skimming”), as well as photons in the zenith range 30◦ − 60◦
can be identified through the broad time-structure of the
signals expected to be induced in the SD stations. An
additional signature for photon-induced air showers is the
steeper lateral distribution of secondary particles at ground
with respect to the nucleonic showers. Stringent limits are set
to the diffuse flux of ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos and
photons, using data collected between 2004 and mid-2013, under
the hypothesis of an E[sup]−2 spectrum for signal primaries.
