• Reacceleration of charged dark matter 

      Kachelriess, Michael; Tjemsland, Jonas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Charged particles scattering on moving inhomogenities of the magnetised interstellar medium can gain energy through the process of second-order Fermi acceleration. This energy gain depletes in turn the magnetic wave spectrum ...
    • Revisiting cosmic ray antinuclei fluxes with a new coalescence model 

      Kachelriess, Michael; Ostapchenko, Sergey; Tjemsland, Jonas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Antideuteron and antihelium nuclei have been proposed as promising detection channels for dark matter because of the low astrophysical backgrounds expected. To estimate both potential exotic contributions and their ...
    • Simulating Particle Cascades in the Search for Dark Matter using Cosmic Neutrino Observations 

      Kluge, Gert (Master thesis, 2019)
      Vi fremfører en prosedyre for å simulere partikkelkaskader med anvendelser innen søk etter mørk materie og neutrinoastronomi. Vi motiveres av de fortløpende utviklingene ved neutrino-observatoriet IceCube, som har gjort ...
    • Superdense dark matter clumps 

      Dokuchaev, V; Berezinsky, V; Eroshenko, Y; Kachelriess, Michael; Solberg, Marius Aase (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      We describe the cosmological scenario for the formation of superdense dark matter clumps. As an interesting particular example the case of superheavy neutralino as DMparticles is considered. The small-scale superdense ...
    • The Diffuse Synchrotron Radio Background from Normal Spiral Galaxies in the Context of the ARCADE Excess 

      Stieng, Lars Einar (Master thesis, 2013)
      In this thesis, the possibility that synchrotron radiation from cosmic ray electrons in normal spiral galaxies can account for the ARCADE excess is investigated. The ARCADE excess is an excess flux measured in the sky ...
    • The Galactic Magnetic Field: A Comparison of Two Models 

      Myhre, Kristian Bryhn (Master thesis, 2019)
      De viktigste målbare størrelsene for å gjøre målinger på det galaktiske magnetisk feltet, Faradayrotasjonsmål og den totale og polariserte intensiteten til synkrotronstråling, vil bli presentert sammen med Jansson-Farrar-modellen ...
    • The propagation and energy losses of ultra high energy cosmic rays 

      Lundanes, Ingvild Olsen (Master thesis, 2011)
      This project investigates the propagation of ultra-high energy cosmic raynuclei and protons. A simulation of the propagation subjecting the particlesto energy losses due to cosmological redshift as well as interactions ...
    • Transition from Galactic to Extragalactic Cosmic Rays 

      Kachelriess, Michael (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The question at which energy the transition from Galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays takes place has been a long-standing conundrum in cosmic ray physics. In the past, the transition energy has been usually associated ...
    • Using Convolutional Neural Networks for the Helicity Classification of Magnetic Fields 

      Pinciroli Vago, Nicolo' Oreste; Hameed, Ibrahim A.; Kachelriess, Michael (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    • Vela as the source of Galactic cosmic rays above 100 TeV 

      Bouyahiaoui, M.; Kachelriess, Michael; Semikoz, D. V. (Journal article, 2019)
      We model the contribution of the nearest young supernova remnant Vela to the local cosmic ray flux taking into account both the influence of the Local Superbubble and the effect of anisotropic diffusion. The magnetic field ...
    • Vela as the Source of Galactic Cosmic Rays above 100 TeV 

      Kachelriess, Michael; Semikoz, Dmitri; Bouyahiaoui, Makarim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      We modeled the contribution of the young supernova remant Vela to the local cosmic rays taking into account the effect of the Local superBubble and an anistropic diffusion. We recovered the knee observed in the CR spectrum ...
