Search for ultra-high energy photons with the AMIGA muon detector
Cosmic rays (E > 10 eV) have been known for more than 70 years, and yet their origin remains elusive. Similarly, the possibility of a very-high energy photon component of the cosmic radiation is one

In this paper, Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) is introduced in the calculations of photon propagation in the Universe. LIV is considered in the photon sector and the mean free path of the $\gamma The Gamma-ray Window to Intergalactic Magnetism • Physics Universe • 2021 One of the most promising ways to probe intergalactic magnetic fields (IGMFs) is through gamma rays produced in electromagnetic cascades initiated by high-energy gamma rays or cosmic rays in the J Search for photons with energies above 10 18 eV using the hybrid detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory • Physics A search for ultra-high energy photons with energies above 1 EeV is performed using nine years of data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory in hybrid operation mode.
