Putting the hadron beam scenario for extreme blazars to the test with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Original language description
Hadron beams are invoked to explain the peculiar properties of a subclass of BL Lac objects, the so-called extreme BL Lacs (EHBLs). This scenario predicts a quite distinctive feature for the high-energy gamma-ray spectrum of these sources, namely a hard energy tail extending up to similar to 100 TeV. It has been proposed that the detection of this tail can offer an unambiguous way to distinguish between the hadron beam scenario and the standard one, which instead assumes gamma-ray emission from the jet strongly depleted at the highest energies (E > 30 TeV) because of the interaction with the optical-IR cosmic radiation field. We present dedicated simulations of observations through the presently under construction Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) of the very high energy spectrum of the prototypical EHBL 1ES 0229+200 assuming the two alternative models.
