Some general Requirements for Sources
Accelerating particles of charge eZ to energy Emax requires induction
ε > Emax/eZ. With Z0 ~ 100Ω the vacuum impedance, this requires
dissipation of minimum power of

If most of this goes into electromagnetic channel, only AGNs and maybe

Together with downstream losses this leads to a spectrum E with q > 2 typically.

He concludes: for proton dominated flux, very few sources which should be known
and spectrum should cut off steeply at observed highest energies
For heavier nuclei dominated flux there are many radio galaxy sources but only
Cen A may be identifiable

disperse the GeV Ɣ-ray cascades

Neutrino Fluxes from Gamma-Ray Bursts
GRBs are optically thick to charged cosmic rays and nuclei are disintegrated
=> only neutrons escape and contribute to the UHECR flux by decaying back
into protons
Diffuse neutrino flux from GRBs can thus be linked to UHECR flux (if it is
dominantly produced by GRBs)

The main part of the code is written in C++ and calls some Fortran routines
(mainly SOPHIA for interactions photo-pion production of nucleons)
Electromagnetic cascades are treated by solving one-dimensional transport
equations
The set-up (source distributions, environment, magnetic fields, low energy
photon backgrounds, injection spectrum, arbitrary composition at fixed energy per
nucleon, which interactions/secondaries to take into account)
can be provided with xml files.
Output can be in form of whole trajectories or events; possible output formats are
ASCII, FITS or ROOT.
Presented are two examples for 1D and 3D simulations

Composition and energy dependence

simulation results
significance of excess within 18 degrees
around nearby source
Lemoine/Waxman estimate
simulations including energy losses
with relatively strong fields do not
necessarily show strong correlations
between anisotropies at different
energies
=> anisotropy may not directly
constrain composition
38
Mittwoch, 15. Februar 12
Possible Explanations of
anisotropy results
interactions break the E/Z degeneracy
mixed composition washes out anisotropies
nearby and background source fluxes may
not be independent since a nearby
magnetized source can shield the background
flux at low energy thus reducing the
excess. Shielding at high energy irrelevant
due to GZK effect

Light Galactic Nuclei produce too much anisotropy above ≃ 1018 eV. This implies:
1.) if composition around 1018 eV is light => probably extragalactic (and ankle may be due
to pair production by protons)
2.) if composition around 1018 eV is heavy => transition could be at the ankle if
Galactic nuclei are produced by sufficiently frequent transients, e.g. magnetars

Physics Conclusions
1.) Both diffuse cosmogenic neutrino and photon fluxes mostly
depend on chemical composition, maximal acceleration energy
and redshift evolution of sources
2.) Multi-messenger modeling sources including gamma-rays and
neutrinos start to constrain the source and acceleration
mechanisms
3.) It is surprisingly difficult to construct simple scenarios
with structured sources and magnetic fields that reproduce all
observations: spectra, energy dependent composition and
anisotropy; to explain them separately is quite easy
44

Conclusions
Multimessenger Simulations with CRPropa 2.0:
1.Nuclei propagation through ambient photon fields with all
relevant interactions
2.Deflections in magnetic fields (3D)
3.1D version with cosmological evolution
4.Secondary electromagnetic cascades and neutrino
propagation (rectilinear approximation)
Currently we are β testing the full nuclei code.
