基于磁单极的超高能宇宙线研究

Study of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays Based on the Monopole

  • 摘要: 超高能宇宙线是指来自外太空、能量超过1 EeV的带电粒子。我们主要讨论了含磁单极的超大质量黑洞模型可能作为超高能宇宙线的潜在源,其中粒子的加速主要是电场加速机制。首先,基于黑洞时空本身对于磁荷的约束,在一般黑洞与极端黑洞情形下,粒子均可被加速至108\mathrmEeV的数量级,且对磁荷类型没有限制。其次,在牛顿饱和磁单极含量的假设下,含电弱磁单极的大质量黑洞无法将粒子加速至超高能。再者,我们考虑了黑洞吸积效应,对于典型质量M = 106−1010\mathrmM_\odot的黑洞,粒子最大能量可从1 EeV加速至104 EeV。最后,我们探讨了非线性电动力学与广义相对论耦合模型作为超高能宇宙线源的可能性,该模型中加速粒子的能量可达108 EeV的数量级。

     

    Abstract: Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays are charged particles with energies greater than1\,\mathrmEeV that come from outer space. In this paper, we mainly discuss a supermassive black hole model with magnetic monopoles as a potential source of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, with particle acceleration driven by electric fields. Firstly, based on the constraints of magnetic charge within black hole spacetime, we show that particles can be accelerated to energies on the order of 108 EeV in both general and extremal black hole scenarios, with no restrictions on the type of magnetic charge. Next, with the assumption of Newtonian-saturated magnetic monopole abundance, we find that supermassive black hole with electroweak monopole cannot accelerate particles to ultra-high-energy. Then, considering the black hole accretion effects, we find that the particle maximum energy can be accelerated from 1 EeV to 104 EeV for typical black holes with massesM = 106−1010 \mathrmM_\odot. Finally, we discuss the nonlinear electrodynamics coupled to the general relativity model as a possible source of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, where the energy of accelerated particles can reach values on the order 108 EeV.
