Gamma-Rays and Neutrinos from Very Young Supernova Remnants
Abstract
We consider the result of acceleration of heavy ions in the slot gap potential of a very young pulsar with a hot polar cap. Photodisintegration of the heavy ions in the radiation field of the polar cap and pulsar surface gives rise to a flux of energetic neutrons. Some fraction of these neutrons interact with target nuclei in the supernova shell to produce neutrino and gamma-ray signals which should be observable from very young supernova remnants in our galaxy for a range of pulsar parameters.
