Diffuse emission of TeV Neutrinos and Gamma-rays from young pulsars by Photo-meson interaction in the galaxy    [PDF]

Zhi-Xiong Li, Gui-Fang Lin, Wei-Wei Na
It's generally believed that young and rapidly rotating pulsars are important sites of particle's acceleration, in which protons can be accelerated to relativistic energy above the polar cap region if the magnetic moment is antiparallel to the spin axis($\vec{\mu}\cdot\vec{\Omega}<0$). To obtain the galactic diffusive neutrinos and gamma-rays for TeV, firstly,we use Monte Carlo(MC) method to generate a sample of young pulsars with ages less than $10^6$ yrs in our galaxy ; secondly, the neutrinos and high-energy gamma-rays can be produced through photomeson process with the interaction of energetic protons and soft X-ray photons ($p+\gamma\rightarrow \Delta^+\rightarrow n+\pi^+/p+\pi^0$) for single pulsar, and these X-ray photons come from the neutron star surface. The results suggest that the diffusive TeV flux of neutrinos are lower than background flux, which indicated it is difficult to be detected by the current neutrino telescopes.
