Radio Havana Cuba | They discover the origin of a ghost particle in a black hole

Washington, 13 Jul (RHC) An international team of scientists discovered for the first time the origin of 39, a neutrino from the outside of the Milky Way, a phantom particle The beginning of a source of cosmic rays, publishes the journal Science

The researchers confirmed that apart from the neutrinos, gamma rays are partially produced by high energy protons in supermbadive black hole jets

. of energy are called blazars and are giant elliptical galaxies with a huge black hole that rotates quickly in its nucleus.

Developed by astronomical observations multimensajero (which obtain information from different sources), the discovery aims to unveil a mystery of more than 100 years: the unknown birthplace of cosmic radiation, discovered by the Austrian physicist Victor Hess in 1912

Cosmic rays, highly energetic particles (mostly high energy protons) that continually cross the Earth from space, have also kept the same mystery for years.

Experts say that it results It is almost impossible to trace the path of these rays until their origin, since most are charged particles that do not travel in a straight line.

Cosmic neutrinos work there, particles that lack electric charge, which allows them to cross

Experts also indicate that the blazar, the origin of the detected neutrino, is able to accelerate the very high energy protons, so that it could be a source of cosmic radiation.

When a neutrino interacts with the nucleus of an atom creates a charged secondary particle that produces a characteristic cone of blue light. The particle and the light remain fixed with respect to the direction of the neutrino, which allows the scientists to find more easily the origin of the subatomic particle. (Source: PL).
