Five telescopes of the H.E.S.S.-collaboration in Namibia are used to study cosmic radiation, especially gamma radiation. With data from 10 years of observations, researchers have now been able to detect cosmic electrons and positrons with an unprecedented energy of more than 10 tera-electronvolts.

Most energetic cosmic-ray electrons and positrons ever observed

After over a decade of research, the H.E.S.S. Observatory in Namibia has recorded the most energetic cosmic ray electrons ever detected, according to reports. These high-energy particles, comprising electrons and positrons, are believed to originate from intense cosmic phenomena such as supernova explosions, neutron stars, and black holes. The discovery suggests that the sources of these particles are likely to be within a few hundred light-year…

Scientists from CNRS, a German university consortium, and the Max-Planck-Institut fur Kernphysik working at the H.E.S.S. Observatory in Namibia have detected cosmic-ray electrons and positrons with the highest energies ever recorded, exceeding 40 TeV. This significant discovery reveals new insights into cosmic processes that produce immense energy, although their origins remain unclear. These re
