Description
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory(LHAASO), a state-of-the-art cosmic ray detector, has promoted significant progresses in the investigation of ultra-high-energy gamma-ray sources and hadron PeVatrons. Observations from LHAASO reveal the presence of ubiquitous cosmic accelerators with energies reaching or even exceeding the PeV scale within the Milky Way, including star-forming region, supernova remnants, microquasars, and pulsar wind nebulae. This talk will review the recent discoveries of LHAASO in ultrahigh-energy gamma astronomy and cosmic rays, which impose stringent constraints on particle acceleration theories in extreme astrophysical environments, and potentially prompt revisions to models in particle physics.
