A model detector undergoing constant, infinite-duration acceleration converges to an equilibrium state described by the Hawking-Unruh temperature $T_a=(a/2\pi)(\hbar/c)$. To relate this prediction to experimental observables, a point-like…
We study the development of high energy (E_in < 1TeV) cascades produced by a primary electron of energy E_in injected into the intergalactic medium (IGM). To this aim we have developed the new code MEDEA (Monte Carlo Energy DEposition…
We present a theoretical model for the thermal X-ray emission and cooling of isolated pulsars, assuming that pulsars are solid quark stars. We calculate the heat capacity for such a quark star, and the results show that the residual thermal…
