Cosmic rays from AGN, the knee energy mass scale and dark matter particles

Following the possibility of a new mass scale at the 3 PeV knee energy of the cosmic ray energy spectrum, the author suggests that the mass for the dark matter particle should be 8.1 TeV, using GLMR supersymmetry theory . The author discusses the possibility of detecting such a signature in various observational facilities, gamma ray, neutrino and other underground detectors. An analysis of recent data from HESS yields a gamma ray peak at 7.6 +/- 0.1 TeV, providing observational evidence for a dark matter particle mass consistent with the theoretical prediction. The author also suggests that the observed discontinuity in the power law index in galaxy correlation functions is the knee energy counterpart in cosmology.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figur

Ankle phenomenon in the cosmic ray energy spectrum

The author has suggested that the knee phenomenon in the cosmic ray energy spectrum at 3 PeV can be explained as a split between a radiation-dominated expansion and a matter-dominated expansion of an expanding heat bath. The model proposed in 1985, in fact, predicted that high energy cosmic rays are emitted from AGN, massive black holes, in agreement with recent data from the Pierre Auger Observatory. Similarly, the ankle phenomenon at 3 EeV is shown to be explained by a split between inflational expansion and ordinary material expansion of the expanding heat bath, not unlike that in the expansion of the universe. All the spectral indicies in the respective regions of the energy spectra agree with the theoretical calculation from the respective expansion rates.Comment: 5 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1207.246
