Скачать или смотреть Black Hole Jets: Unveiling Cosmic Ray Mysteries at the 'Knee' with LHAASO!

Scientists have linked black hole jets to the acceleration of cosmic rays, solving a 70-year-old mystery about the 'knee' structure in the cosmic ray energy spectrum.
Using data from China's LHAASO observatory, researchers identified micro-quasars powered by black hole jets as the sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, exceeding the PeV threshold. This discovery explains the origin of the 'knee' in the cosmic ray spectrum, a point where the number of high-energy cosmic rays drops sharply.
Learn how LHAASO's precise measurements are revolutionizing our understanding of cosmic ray origins, black hole physics, and extreme astrophysical processes in the universe. This breakthrough opens new avenues for studying cosmic ray acceleration mechanisms and potentially improving artificial particle accelerators.
