对能量高于 1018 eV 的光子的观测将为宇宙射线研究打开一扇新窗口,可能对天体物理学、粒子物理学、宇宙学和基础物理学产生影响。当前和计划中的空气簇射实验,特别是皮埃尔俄歇天文台,为寻找此类光子并补充宇宙多信使观测工作提供了前所未有的机会。我们总结了寻找超高能光子的动机、成就和前景。
The observation of photons with energies above 1018 eV would open a new window in cosmic-ray research, with possible impact on astrophysics, particle physics, cosmology and fundamental physics. Current and planned air shower experiments, particularly the Pierre Auger Observatory, offer an unprecedented opportunity to search for such photons and to complement efforts of multimessenger observations of the universe. We summarize motivation, achievements, and prospects of the search for ultra-high energy photons.
