Resumen:
|
Electromagnetic energy injected into the universe above a few hundred TeV is expected to pile up as ? radiation in a relatively narrow energy interval below 100 TeV due to its interaction with the 2.7^°K background radiation. We present an upper limit (90% C.L.) on the ratio of primary ? to charged cosmic rays in the energy interval 65–160 TeV (80–200 TeV) of 10.3 • 10^?3 (7.8 • 10^?3). Data from the HEGRA cosmic-ray detector complex consisting of a wide angle ?erenkov array (AIROBICC) measuring the lateral distribution of air ?erenkov light and a scintillator array, were used with a novel method to discriminate ?-ray and hadron induced air showers. If the presently unmeasured universal far infrared background radiation is not too intense, the result rules out a topological-defect origin of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays for masses of the X particle released by the defects equal to or larger than about 10^16 GeV.
