TeV Neutrinos and Hard X-Rays from Relativistic Reconnection in the Corona of NGC 1068 by Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Maria Petropoulou, Luca Comisso, Enrico Peretti, Lorenzo Sironi

“…Protons above the break lose most of their energy within the reconnection layer via photohadronic collisions with the coronal X-rays, producing a neutrino signal in good agreement with the recent observations. Gamma rays injected in photohadronic collisions are cascaded to lower energies, sustaining the population of electron–positron pairs that makes the corona moderately Compton thick.…”

Reconstruction of Compton Edges in Plastic Gamma Spectra Using Deep Autoencoder by Byoungil Jeon, Youhan Lee, Myungkook Moon, Jongyul Kim, Gyuseong Cho

“…To overcome their weaknesses, many studies on pseudo spectroscopy have been reported, but most of them have not been able to directly identify the energy of incident gamma rays. In this paper, we propose a method to reconstruct Compton edges in plastic gamma spectra using an artificial neural network for direct pseudo gamma spectroscopy. …”
