For the case of high cosmic ray power and weak intergalactic magnetic fields, the deflections of these UHECRs may be small leading to detectable gamma-ray fluxes that point back to their origin. We summarize current results and prospects of detecting a signature of these interactions using the current and next generation of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-09-29T20:05:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ultra high energy cosmic ray", "high energy cosmic ray line-of-sight", "energy cosmic ray line-of-sight interactions", "gamma-ray signatures" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1231605, "adsabs": "2013arXiv1305.0253D" } } }
