Cherenkov light is emitted by showers induced by high-energy gamma rays This light is
very faint - about 10 s/m2 at E=100 GeV - and the duration of the light flash is only a
few nsec. Large mirrors, fast photon detectors and short signal-integration times are
required to collect enough light from the shower, with minimal contamination from nightsky background light.

The fireball model
Compactness problem: the optical depth for pair production very high if initial energy
emitted from a volume with radius R <c dt ~300 km with dt = variability time scale ~ ms
in photons with the observed spectrum this would imply thermal spectra contrary t
observations
Solution: relativistic motion dimension of source R <G2 c dt and Eobs = G Emitted
A fireball (, e, baryon loading <10-5 Msun to reach observed G) forms due to the high
energy density, that expands. When it becomes optically thin it emits the observed
radiation through the dissipation of particle kinetic energy into relativistic shocks
External shocks: relativistic matter runs on external medium, interstellar or wind earlier
emitted by the progenitor
Internal shocks: inner engine emits
many shells with different Lorentz
factors colliding into one another, and
thermalizing a fraction of their kinetic
energy

Active Galactic Nuclei
Rotating massive BH with jets along rotation axis with matter outflow +
accretion disc
Spectra have a thermal part due to synchrotron radiation of electrons in a
magnetic field (UV bump at optical-UV frequencies)+non thermal component
extending up to 20 orders of magnitude

Upper bounds on X-galactic fluxes
Cosmic p accelerators produce CRs, ’s and ’s
Ultimate bound of any scenario involving and production from s: diffuse
extra-galactic background E2F < 6 10-7 GeV /cm2 s sr (EGRET) Measured
UHECR flux provides most restrictive limit (Waxman & Bahcall (1999)
- optically thin sources: nucleons from photohadronic interactions escape
- CR flux above the ankle (>3 ·1018eV) are extragalactic protons with E-2
spectrum E2F < 4.5 10-8 GeV /(cm2 s sr)
This bound does not apply to harder
spectra or optically thick
Mannheim, Protheroe & Rachen (2000):
Magnetic fields and uncertainties in
photohadronic interactions of protons
can largely affect the bound as these
effects restrict number of protons
able to escape
