Abstract:

The origin of cosmic-rays is one of the long-standing problems in astro physics. In recent years, strong evidence has been found that certain classes of object contain and are able to accelerate particles to high energies. In this thesis the origin problem is addressed in two different ways. Firstly, two different regions of the Galaxy are studied using γ-ray observations from the COSB satellite combined with atomic and molecular gas measurements. The Vela region contains a pulsar and a supernova remnant and is particularly valuable location for cosmic-ray studies because of its proximity, the

Abstract:

This thesis shows how improvements can be made to two dimensional gamma - ray source analysis by using a probabilistic approach to describe the possible source location and likelihood of a candidate gamma-ray event. The mapping algorithm developed assesses the significance of source detection, and background subtraction is implemented both by a modified standard approach and by the development of a multivariate kernel analysis.

The experimental set-up at the Baksan Air Shower Array, used to detect air showers above ~0.2xl0(^14)eV, is described. An estimation of the angular resolution using the cosmic ray shadow of the Sun and the Moon gives a value of ~2.5˚ which is consistent with previous estimates from Monte-Carlo simulations. Using data from this array covering 1985-1992, a search is made for 7-ray emission from 18 candidate sources. Upper limits to the flux from these sources are stated in all cases. A periodicity search is made on data for which the excess for a single transit of a particular source is above 3(

The high-mass X-ray binary SMC X-1 has been observed during the interval 1986-1989 at a threshold γ-ray energy of 0.4 TeV using the University of Durham Mark III air Cerenkov telescope at Narrabri. The Cerenkov arrival time series recorded during these observations have been tested for periodicity at the contemporary pulse period of the SMC X-1 X-ray pulsar. This period analysis was performed using a new technique - introduced in the present work - which is designed for TeV γ-ray source candidates in binary systems and which simultaneously seeks evidence for pulsed TeV γ-ray emission and infor

This project is to search for Very High Energy (VHE) (10¹¹ eV to 10¹⁴ eV) gamma rays from the Crab nebula and pulsar using the atmospheric Cherenkov imaging technique.

Gamma-ray-like events are selected from numerous cosmic-ray events based on the predicted properties of the image, such as the size, shape, and orientation with respect to the axis of the detector.

Abstract:

Laser-plasma wakefield accelerator (LWFA) is a promising novel technology that is introducing miniaturization to the accelerator world: the unprecedented gradient of acceleration shrinks the accelerator down to table-top size. Moreover, the LWFA comes with an embedded light source: electrons, while accelerating, undergo betatron oscillatory motion that results in synchrotron radiation emitted in a narrow cone along the direction of propagation. In this thesis we study theoretically and we prove experimentally a new regime of betatron oscillation that occurs when electrons experience the electr

Results for 21 EGRET sources are reported; in some cases two EGRET sources are close enough to be viewed in a single observation. For each EGRET source, candidate associations are listed and the implications of each candidate for VHE emission discussed. Finally, a study of

There is good evidence to suggest that many of the weaker sources are not truly discrete.
