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
