The study of the astrophysical origin of high energy particles (or high energy cosmic rays) is one of the most advanced research fields in both high energy astrophysics and cosmic ray physics, which involves a series of high energy physical processes such as particle acceleration and radiation mechanism, dynamical evolution, and particle propagation in various compact objects of our universe. We will study the astrophysical origin of high energy particles by using the multi-messenger approach (i.e. incorporating observed data of the multi-band photon emissions, high energy cosmic rays, and high energy neutrinos). We will mainly focus on the researches as below: (1) The high energy physical properties of supernova remnants (SNRs) and the contribution of SNRs to the Galactic cosmic rays. We will study the dynamical evolution, particle acceleration, and radiation mechanism in both isolated SNR and the system of SNR interacting with molecular clouds, and test SNR-origin hypothesis of galactic cosmic rays. (2) High energy physical properties of pulsars (including normal, millisecond, and newly-born pulsars), pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) and their contribution to high energy cosmic rays. We will investigate high energy radiation of gamma-ray pulsars, and the acceleration, dynamical evolution, high energy emissions of pulsar wind nebulae and probe pulsar’s origin of high energy cosmic rays. (3) High energy physical properties of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and contribution of AGNs to ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). We will study the various physical processes of both acceleration and jet dissipation of AGNs, in particular, hadronic origin of high energy gamma-rays in AGNs; We will also study the contribution of AGNs to the diffuse gamma-ray emission and investigate the intergalactic magnetic field.
