Study of ultra-high energy cosmic ray propagation
Fodran, Tomáš ; Nosek, Dalibor (advisor) ; Sýkora, Tomáš (referee)
The master's thesis is dedicated to studying the propagation of ultra-high energy proton cosmic rays under a hypothesis of Lorentz invariance violation. For this purpose, numerical methods were used. Our calculations indicated that the ef- fective horizon of ultra-high energy cosmic protons is significantly extended when Lorentz invariance violation is assumed. Further, we investigated the effects of Lo- rentz invariance violation on the Cosmic ray spectrum. We learned that measured cosmic ray spectra are a suitable tool for constraining the coefficients describing Lorentz invariance violation and we estimated an interval where the upper bound on the pion Lorentz invariance violating coefficient lies. Moreover, a correlation between free parameters of the analytical model of cosmic ray spectrum and coefficients, that describes Lorentz invariance violation, was found.
