A mixed lepto-hadronic model for PKS 2155-304    [PDF]

Matteo Cerruti, Andreas Zech, Catherine Boisson, Susumu Inoue
The models developed to describe the spectral energy distribution (SED) of blazars can be divided into leptonic or hadronic scenarios, according to the particles responsible for the high-energy component. We have developed a new stationary code which computes all the relevant leptonic and hadronic processes, permitting the study of both leptonic and hadronic scenarios in a consistent way. Interestingly, mixed lepto-hadronic scenarios (in which both components contribute to the high energy emission) naturally arise in this framework. We present the first application to the well known BL Lac object PKS 2155-304.
