4022131 – Astroteilchenphysik II - Gamma Rays and Neutrinos

Thursdays 14:00 - 15:30, weekly, online on zoom, link will be provided to all participants via emai

This course will give a introduction to the astrophysical mechanisms for the creation of high energy gamma rays and neutrinos. The understanding of these mechanisms will then be applied to learn about astrophysical objects in the universe that emit nonthermal, high energy radiation. This course is complementary to "Teilchen und Sterne" and "Kosmische Strahlung". The course material can be understood without previous knowledge on astroparticle physics.

Syllabus:
1) Introduction to the High Energy Universe
2) Astrophysical Processes
--> Bremsstrahlung
--> Synchrotron Radiation
--> Inverse Compton Scattering
--> Gammas and Neutrinos from Pion Decay
--> Recap: Acceleration
3) Sources of Gamma Rays and Neutrinos
--> Recap: Stellar Evolution
--> Supernova Remnants
--> Gamma Ray Bursts
--> Pulsars
--> Active Galactic Nuclei
