The cosmic-ray energy spectrum above 10^{18.5} eV is reported using the updated data set of the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA) from February 1990 to October 1997. The energy spectrum extends beyond 10^{20} eV and the energy gap between the highest energy event and the others is being filled up with recently observed events. The spectral shape suggests the absence of the 2.7 K cutoff in the energy spectrum or a possible presence of a new component beyond the 2.7 K cutoff.

  1. Hybrid Simulations of Proton Acceleration at Oblique High-$\beta$ Shocks

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    Weak quasi-perpendicular high-β ICM shocks accelerate protons inefficiently (ε_CR ≲ 0.1%), while Ms ≳ 10 or ϑ ≲ 45° shocks reach a few percent with steep spectra.

  2. SN 1006: A Cosmic Laboratory for Investigating Shock Acceleration Physics

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A self-consistent multi-zone kinetic model reproduces SN 1006's spectrum and morphology, finding ~20% CR acceleration efficiency in quasi-parallel shocks, <1% in quasi-perpendicular shocks, and predominantly leptonic ...

  3. On The Nonthermal Power Laws In Magnetized Turbulent Plasmas

    physics.plasm-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Derives and validates via PIC simulations a scaling law for nonthermal spectral tails in mildly to strongly magnetized turbulent plasmas, with application to black-hole coronae.

  4. On The Nonthermal Power Laws In Magnetized Turbulent Plasmas

    physics.plasm-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    A scaling law for nonthermal power-law tails in magnetized turbulent plasmas is derived from particle transport principles and confirmed by PIC simulations with escape, with applications to black hole coronae.
