Multi-Messenger Signatures of PeV-ZeV Cosmic Ray Sources

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2019-01-23 v2

Abstract

We discuss likely sources of cosmic rays in the 1015102010^{15}-10^{20} eV range and their possible very high energy neutrino and gamma-ray signatures which could serve to identify these sources and constrain their physics. Among these sources we discuss in particular low luminosity gamma-ray bursts, including choked and shock-breakout objects, tidal disruption events and white dwarf mergers. Among efforts aimed at simultaneous secondary multi-messenger detections we discuss the AMON program.
