Funded Activity Summary

Relativistic Particles in Star-Forming Galaxies. This project aims to understand how galactic evolution is shaped by the relativistic particles known as cosmic rays that fill interstellar space. We understand only poorly how cosmic rays interact with non-relativistic interstellar matter, which in turn limits our understanding of how they affect galaxies. The project seeks to resolve this question by calculating how cosmic ray-matter interaction gives rise to light and neutrinos that we can observe using current and future telescopes, enabling us to use observations from these telescopes to solve the problem of cosmic ray-matter interaction. This would resolve the question of how cosmic rays shape galaxy evolution, and thus represent a substantial advance in the theory of galaxy formation.
