Relativistic Hadrons in Cosmic Compact Objects
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-662-13823-6 (ISBN)
The book deals with energetic hadron processes near astrophysical compact objects. The consequences of relativistic hadron production in the vicinity of these objects are explored. Hadron-initiated electron-positron pair cascades, very high and ultra-high gamma rays, neutrinos, and relativistic free neutrons are discussed.
