The CMS experiment at the CERN LHC

S. Chatrchyan, +3175 more
TL;DR: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN as mentioned in this paper was designed to study proton-proton (and lead-lead) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV (5.5 TeV nucleon-nucleon) and at luminosities up to 10(34)cm(-2)s(-1)
Journal ArticleDOI

A connection between star formation activity and cosmic rays in the starburst galaxy M82

V. A. Acciari, +93 more
- 10 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: A cosmic-ray density of 250 eV cm-3 in the starburst core, which is about 500 times the average Galactic density is determined, and suggests that supernovae and massive-star winds are the dominant accelerators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radio Imaging of the Very-High-Energy gamma-Ray Emission Region in the Central Engine of a Radio Galaxy

V. A. Acciari, +385 more
- 24 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: Radio and VHE observations of the radio galaxy Messier 87 are revealed, revealing a period of extremely strong VHE gamma-ray flares accompanied by a strong increase of theRadio flux from its nucleus, implying that charged particles are accelerated to very high energies in the immediate vicinity of the black hole.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into the high-energy γ-ray emission of Markarian 501 from extensive multifrequency observations in the Fermi era

A. A. Abdo, +474 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the gamma-ray activity of the blazar Mrk 501 during the first 480 days of Fermi operation was reported, and it was shown that the energy distribution of the freshly accelerated radiating electrons required to fit the time-averaged data has a broken power-law form in the energy range 0.3GeV-10TeV, with spectral indices 2.2 and 2.20.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Pulsed Gamma Rays Above 100 GeV from the Crab Pulsar

E. Aliu, +94 more
- 07 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: This detection constrains the mechanism and emission region of gamma-ray radiation in the pulsar’s magnetosphere and requires that these gamma rays be produced more than 10 stellar radii from the neutron star.
