Energy spectra of charged particles produced by electron and bremsstrahlung bombardment of 6Li and 7Li were measured by means of a magnetic spectrometer and solid-state detectors. Assuming that all transitions leave the residual nucleus in the ground state, the photonuclear cross sections were obtained using both bremsstrahlung and E1 virtual photon spectra. Comparison of the present real and virtual photon results is made with those of previous experiments.

AbstractThe matter content of relativistic jets in AGNs is dominated by a mixture of protons, electrons, and positrons. During dissipative events these particles tap a significant portion of the internal and/or kinetic energy of the jet and convert it into electromagnetic radiation. While leptons – even those with only mildly relativistic energies – can radiate efficiently, protons need to be accelerated up to energies exceeding 1016–19 eV to dissipate radiatively a significant amount of energy via either trigerring pair cascades or direct synchrotron emission. Here I review various constraints imposed on the role of hadronic non-adiabatic cooling processes in shaping the high energy spectra of blazars. It will be argued that protons, despite being efficiently accelerated and presumably playing a crucial role in jet dynamics and dissipation of the jet kinetic energy to the internal energy of electrons and positrons, are more likely to remain radiatively passive in AGN jets.

An accurate measurement of the intensity and energy spectra of Cosmic Ray electrons and positrons represents a major experimental challenge. Long exposure times and excellent particle identification capabilities are needed in order to cope with the low intensity of the electron and positron fluxes and the overwhelming background from protons and nuclei in cosmic rays. The motivations for such an experimental effort will be briefly discussed and the most recent results revieweved together with the perspectives of future experiments.
