Some cosmic rays have more than 10 Peta-Electronvolt energy, millions of times higher than the largest human-made particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider.
A team of Chinese researchers has found a giant bubble of ultra-high-energy gamma rays in the Cygnus region of the Milky Way, which reveals the origin of the most energetic cosmic rays ever detected.are mysterious particles from outer space that bombard the Earth with incredible energies. Some have more than 10 Peta-Electronvolt energy, millions of times higher than the largest human-made particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider.
Now, a team of researchers from the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has found the first evidence of such a super cosmic ray accelerator, using the, a cutting-edge facility located at an altitude of 4,410 meters in Sichuan, China. LHAASO is designed to detect gamma rays, which are high-energy photons produced when cosmic rays interact with matter or radiation in space., which spans about 10 degrees in the sky, equivalent to 20 times the size of the full moon.
