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…
Ultrahigh-energy Cosmic-Ray Interactions as the Origin of Very High-energy γ-Rays from BL Lacertae Objects
We explain the observed multiwavelength photon spectrum of a number of BL Lac objects detected at very high energy (VHE, $E \gtrsim 30$ GeV), using a lepto-hadronic emission model. The one-zone…

Limits on the Lorentz Invariance Violation from UHECR astrophysics
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
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…

Physics of cosmological cascades and observable properties
TeV photons from extragalactic sources are absorbed in the intergalactic medium and initiate electromagnetic cascades. These cascades offer a unique tool to probe the properties of the universe at…

Inverse Compton Cascades in Pair-producing Gaps: Effects of Triplet Pair Production
Inverse Compton-pair cascades are initiated when gamma-rays are absorbed on an ambient soft photon field to produce relativistic pairs, which in turn up-scatter the same soft photons to produce more…
