We Finally Have The First-Ever Evidence of Cosmic Superaccelerators in Our Galaxy


6 APRIL 2021
A cosmic gamma ray detected zipping across the Milky Way has broken the record for the most energetic we ve found yet, clocking in at a whopping 957 trillion electronvolts (teraelectronvolts, or TeV).
 
This not only more than doubles the previous record, it brings us close to the range of petaelectronvolts (that s a quadrillion electronvolts) - finally confirming the existence of cosmic superaccelerators that can boost photons to these energies in the Milky Way.
Such a superaccelerator is called a PeVatron, and finding them could help us figure out what is producing the high-energy gamma rays streaking across the galaxy.
This pioneering work opens a new window for the exploration of the extreme Universe, said physicist Jing Huang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in China. The observational evidence marks an important milestone toward revealing cosmic ray origins, which have puzzled mankind for more than one century. ....

Move over, CERN. Unknown sources in the Milky Way dubbed PeVatrons accelerate protons to energies of a few peta-electronvolts - dozens of times higher than the yield of the Large Hadron Collider.
Now, new data from a high-altitude experiment in Tibet confirm that such very-high-energy cosmic rays are indeed produced in our own galaxy.

Ultra high-energy diffuse gamma rays (yellow points) are distributed along the Milky Way Galaxy. The gray shaded area indicates the area outside the detectors field of view. The results paint a much fuller picture of the PeVatron population in the Milky Way, says Pat Harding (Los Alamos National Laboratory), who was not involved in the study. ....
