Recent observations of gamma rays with the Fermi-LAT have revealed excess emission from the centers of the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy, both of unknown origin. In this talk, I will briefly review the current observational status of the excess including morphological and spectral properties. Possible interpretations will be discussed, such as cosmic ray interactions with the interstellar...
The Large Array Telescope for Tracking Energetic Sources (LATTES), is a novel concept for a hybrid EAS array detector, composed of a Resistive Plate Counter and a Water Cherenkov Detector, planned to cover gamma-rays from less than 100 GeV up to 100 TeVs. This experiment, to be installed at high altitude in South America, could cover the existing gap in sensitivity between satellite and ground...
Planck scale acts as a threshold where a new description of spacetime is expected to appear. We consider the invariant Planck scale modified/deformed Poincare algebra proposed by Magueijo and Smolin and study the consequences as the Planck scale corrections to the known physics. We get Planck scale modified dispersion relation and an effective invariant ultraviolet energy cut-off (Planck...
