Sources of high-energy cosmic rays are presently unknown, but can be constrained in various ways. Some of these constraints can be graphically presented on the so-called Hillas diagram. Previous versions of this diagram determined the range of geometrical sizes and magnetic fields of potential astrophysical accelerators, taking into account geometrical criteria and radiation losses. In this work, we update the Hillas diagram for protons, taking into account the losses associated with the $p\gamma$ and photopair interactions, relating the allowed regions to the source electromagnetic luminosity. The strongest constraints are obtained for bright compact sources such as the central regions of active galactic nuclei.

  1. Can a gamma-ray dim radio blazar produce a 200-PeV neutrino? The case of PMN J0606$-$0724 and KM3-230213A

    astro-ph.HE 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0

    A gamma-ray dim radio blazar, PMN J0606-0724, can plausibly explain the 200 PeV KM3NeT neutrino through proton-photon interactions in its radio core, with the associated gamma rays absorbed internally.

  2. TeV to PeV neutrinos from AGN coronae

    astro-ph.HE 2024-10 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    A Comptonization model of AGN coronae combined with Monte-Carlo photopion production and cosmological evolution can account for IceCube's ~100 TeV and sub-PeV neutrinos using only photohadronic processes.
