| 11:00 - 12:00 Journal Club: Experiment & Phenomenology-google meet AGN jets as the origin of UHECRs and perspectives for the detection of astrophysical source neutrinos at EeV energies School PARTICLES AND ACCELERATORS Based on https://export.arxiv.org/abs/2003.08392 Abstract: We demonstrate that a population of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can describe the observed spectrum of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) at and above the ankle, and that the dominant contribution comes from low-luminosity BL Lacs. An additional, subdominant contribution from high-luminosity AGN is needed to improve the description of the composition observables, leading to a substantial neutrino ux that peaks at EeV energies. We also find that different properties for the low- and high-luminosity AGN populations are required; a possibly similar baryoni ... |
