Many physicists believe that such #PeVatrons accelerate particles up to at least PeV energies (PeV=10^15 eV).
Possible PeVatrons include #supernova explosions, star-forming regions, & Sgr A* the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

But despite decades of hunting, only a few PeVatron candidates have been located in the #MilkyWay.
The Tibet ASγ experiment, a #China-#Japan collaboration, has reported new measurements that provide further evidence for galactic #PeVatrons.
