Outline • Introduction • Limit on LIV • Jet Acceleration • Particle Acceleration
Gamma-Ray Burst The most luminous explosion in the universe 1052-1054 erg/s • Reference: • Sun 3.9 1033 erg/s • X-ray star 1038 erg/s • Supernova, Galaxy 1043 erg/s • AGN 1046 erg/s • SGR 1047 erg/s Light Curve
GRB rate Supernova rate ~ 2.4x105 Gpc-3yr-1 (60% II, 30% Ia, 10% type Ib/c) Hypernova ~500 Gpc-3yr-1 GRB (Jet corrected) ~20 Gpc-3yr-1 ~1 detection/day

Constraints on Lorentz Invariant Violation
Measuring the Speed of Light GRBs: Bright Distant Objects with Emissions of Wide Energy Ranges -> Ideal to measure the difference of “c”! Loop quantum gravity? NYTimes ’09 Oct. 28
Motivation How to reconcile gravitation with quantum mechanics? -> Classical symmetric properties will be sacrificed? (Spontaneously? Effectively in 4-D?) Effective Field Theory (Colladay & Kostelecky 1998) CPT violating CPT conserving Photon velocity CPT symmetry kills the term.
Quantum Gravity Test 高エネルギー光子が遅れてくる? ? (LHC BH??) Smaller MQG -> large time delay?
GRB 090510 Short GRB Precursor Delay 8keV-260keV 260keV-5MeV z=0.903 (traveling 7.3 Bill. yrs) Eiso=1053erg >100MeV >1GeV 31GeV, 3.4GeV
“c” is the same with 18 digits! 29979245800.0000000?? cm/s depends on E? At least MQG,1>Mpl !
CTA We can expect 1000 photons @ 10 GeV from a GRB. 10 GeV pulse shape ~keV pulse shape Much stronger constraint
Ultra-relativistic… Jet Acceleration
GRB 080916C 8keV-260keV 260keV-5MeV Long GRB Delay z=4.35 Eiso=8.8x1054erg >100MeV ~5xMsunc2 >1GeV 13GeV 3GeV
Compactness Problem If gamma-rays are emitted isotropically, GeV photons cannot escape because electron-positron pairs should be created via photon-photon collision. →Inconsistent with obs. In the comoving frame… If the sources are ultra-relativistic… (We have observed blue-shifted photons) X-ray No high energy photons
Minimum Lorentz factor GRB 090510 > 1200 GRB 080916C > 900
Fireball Acceleration • Radiation dominated plasma; huge amount of electron-positron pairs and photons, and small amount of protons. • Adiabatic Expansion; Thermal Energy -> Bulk Kinetic Energy • Fireball Evolution: is required.
Central Engine How to deposit energy without much baryons? Neutrino pair annihilation? Collimated energy injection can evacuate baryons and make a fireball. Macfadyen & Woosley
Lack of Thermal Emission The fireball becomes optically thin as it expands. -> Thermal Photons GRB 080916C GRB090102 Optical polarization is reported. -> Strongly Magnetized Plasma? Zhang & Pe’er 2009
Poynting Flux Dominated Jet? Magnetic Energy dominates the bulk kinetic energy -> can be relativistic. MHD turbulences (MRI) enhance the magnetic field. • Weak points: • Hard to produce shocks • Hard to induce magnetic reconnection How to convert kinetic energy into photons?? McKinney & Blandford 2009
Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays Particle Acceleration
Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) Where is the accelerator?? (Strong magnetic field or large size to confine particles) n(E)∝E-3 Energy distribution >1020eV Ref: 7 TeV by LHC AGN? (low number density)
Highest Accelerator=GRB? We need 6-8 1043 ergs/Mpc3/yr to explain UHECRs See e.g. Murase et al. 2008 We may need Up/Ue>20. If GRB rate is 0.05 Gpc-3/yr, Up/Ue>100 Hidden Energy?
