The next generation of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, IceCube-Gen2, will constitute a much larger detector, increasing the rate of high-energy neutrinos. IceCube-Gen2 will address the long-standing questions about astrophysical accelerators. The experiment will also include a surface air-shower detector which will allow for measurements of cosmic rays in the energy region where a transition between Galactic and extragalactic accelerators is expected. As a baseline design for the surface detector, we consider a surface array above the optical in-ice array consisting of the same type of stations used for the IceTop enhancement, i.e., scintillation detectors and radio antennas. In order to better understand the capabilities of such an array, we performed simulations of its response to air showers, including both detector types. We will show the results of this simulation study and discuss the prospects for the surface array of IceCube-Gen2.

Air showers induced by cosmic protons and heavier nuclei constitute the dominant background for very high energy gamma-ray observations of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). Even for strong very high energy gamma-ray sources the signal-to-background ratio in the raw data is typically less than 1:5000. Therefore, a very large statistic of events, induced by cosmic protons and heavier nuclei, is easily available as a byproduct of gamma-ray source observations. In this contribution, we present a feasibility study on improved reconstruction of the energy of primary protons. For the latter purpose, we used a random forest method trained and tested by using Monte Carlo simulations of the MAGIC telescopes, for energies above 70GeV. We employ the aict-tools framework, including machine learning methods for the energy reconstruction. The open-source Python project aict-tools was developed at TU Dortmund and its reconstruction tools are based on scikit-learn predictors. Here, we report on the performance of the proton energy regression with the well-tested and robust random forest approach.

We present the method used to estimate the cosmic-ray observations expected for that the Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder for the International Space Station (TIGERISS), which is designed to measure the abundances of the rare Ultra-Heavy Galactic Cosmic Rays (UHCR) 30 Zn and heavier. TIGERISS uses planes of crossed silicon strip detectors at the top and bottom for charge and trajectory determination and acrylic and aerogel Cherenkov detectors for velocity and charge determination. Instruments are modeled in configurations for the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) "Kibo" Exposed Facility ( ∼ 1.66 m 2 sr), as an European Space Agency Columbus Laboratory external payload ( ∼ 1.16 m 2 sr), and as an ExPRESS Logistics Carrier (ELC) experiment ( ∼ 1.10 m 2 sr). Differential geometry factors determined for detector orientations within the geomagnetic field over the ISS 51.6 ° inclination orbit are used to determine geomagnetic screening. Energy spectra are integrated using the higher of the energies needed to trigger the instrument or penetrate the geomagnetic field for time-weighted bins of geomagnetic latitude, instrument orientation, and incidence angle. Finally, abundances are reduced by the fraction of events calculated to fragment in the instrument.

The recent progress in the radio detection technique for air showers paves the path to future cosmic-ray radio detectors. Digital radio arrays allow for a measurement of the air-shower energy and depth of its maximum with a resolution comparable to those of the leading optical detection methods. One of the remaining challenges regarding cosmic-ray radio instrumentation is an accurate estimation of their efficiency and aperture. We present a probabilistic model to address this challenge. We use the model to estimate the efficiency and aperture of the Tunka-Rex radio array. The basis of the model is a parametrization of the radio footprint and a probabilistic treatment of the detection process on both the antenna and array levels. In this way, we can estimate the detection efficiency for air showers as function of their arrival direction, energy, and impact point on the ground. In addition, the transparent internal relationships between the different stages of the air-shower detection process in our probabilistic approach enable to estimate the uncertainty of the efficiency and, consequently, of the aperture of radio arrays. The detail of the model and its application to the Tunka-Rex data will be presented in the contribution.

Fast radio bursts (FRB) are enigmatic powerful single radio pulses with durations of several milliseconds and high brightness temperatures suggesting coherent emission mechanism. For the time being a number of extragalactic FRBs have been detected in the high-frequency radio band including repeating ones. The most plausible explanation for these phenomena is magnetar hyperflares. The first observational evidence of this scenario was obtained in April 2020 when an FRB was detected from the direction of the Galactic magnetar and soft gamma repeater SGR1935+2154. The FRB was preceded with a number of soft gamma-ray bursts observed by Swift-BAT satellite, which triggered the follow-up program of the H.E.S.S. imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs). H.E.S.S. has observed SGR1935+2154 over a 2 hour window few hours prior to the FRB detection by STARE2 and CHIME. The observations overlapped with other X-ray bursts from the magnetar detected by INTEGRAL and Swift-BAT, thus providing first observations of a magnetar in a flaring state in the very-high energy domain. We present the analysis of these observations, discuss the obtained results and prospects of the H.E.S.S. follow-up program for soft gamma repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars.

Cosmic ray data collected by the KASCADE air shower experiment are competitive in terms of quality and statistics with those of modern observatories. We present a novel mass composition analysis based on archival data acquired from 1998 to 2013 provided by the KASCADE Cosmic ray Data Center (KCDC). The analysis is based on modern machine learning techniques trained on simulation data provided by KCDC. We present spectra for individual groups of primary nuclei, the results of a search for anisotropies in the event arrival directions taking mass composition into account, and search for gamma-ray candidates in the PeV energy domain.

Beams of ultra-relativistic electrons in blazar jets develop pair cascades interacting with ambient soft photons. Employing coupled kinetic equations with escape terms, we model the unsaturated pair cascade spectrum. We assume that the gamma rays predominantly scatter off recombinationline photons from clouds photoionised by the irradiation from the accretion disk and the jet. The cascade spectrum is rather insensitive to the injection of hard electron spectra associated with the short-time variability of blazars. Adopting physical parameters representative of Markarian 501 and 3C 279, respectively, we numerically obtain spectral energy distributions showing distinct features imprinted by the recombination-line photons. The hints for a peculiar feature at ∼ 3 TeV in the spectrum of Markarian 501, detected with the MAGIC telescopes during a strong X-ray flux activity in 2014 July, can be explained in this scenario as a result of the up-scattering of line photons by beam electrons and the low pair-creation optical depth. Inspecting a high-fidelity Fermi-LAT spectrum of 3C 279 from January 2018 reveals troughs in the spectrum that coincide with the threshold energies for gamma rays producing pairs in collisions with recombination-line photons, and the absence of exponential attenuation. Our finding implies that the gamma rays in 3C 279 escape from the edge of the broad emission line region.

We report a study on the conversion of a giant cosmic ray observatory for air shower observation to observe cosmic ray intensity variations caused by solar activity, anisotropy associated with interplanetary disturbances, and detection of sudden cosmic ray events on the earth’s surface. In this report, we use data from the surface detectors operated by the Telescope Array experiment located at 39°N, 112°W (total detector area: 2250 m2). In order to evaluate the cosmic ray intensity variations, we will compare the data with some of the corrections considered and with available world wide database such as Nagoya Muon detector and other observatories that have been in stable operation at different geographic longitudes. Finally, we will report on the intensity variations due to weather and solar activity recorded during the observation period.

The Telescope Array (TA) experiment is located in the western desert of Utah, USA and observes ultra-high energy cosmic rays in the northern hemisphere. At the energies, the shape of the cosmic ray energy spectrum carries information of the source distribution. We present the search for differences in spectrum shape in different parts of the sky using latest data of TA surface detector (SD) data. From this study, we observe an apparent enhancement in the region of the northern sky that contain nearby objects, such as the super-galactic plane. Details of this analysis will be presented.

Highly extended gamma-ray emission around the Geminga pulsar was discovered by Milagro and verified by HAWC. Despite many observations with Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs), detection of gamma-ray emission on angular scales exceeding the IACT field-of-view has proven challenging. Recent developments in analysis techniques have enabled the detection of significant emission around Geminga in archival data with H.E.S.S.. In 2019, further data on the Geminga region were obtained with an adapted observation strategy. Following the announcement of the detection of significant TeV emission around Geminga in archival data, in this contribution we present the detection in an independent dataset. New analysis results will be presented, and emphasis given to the technical challenges involved in observations of highly extended gamma-ray emission with IACTs.
