GRBs, SGRs by UHE leptons showering, blazing and re-brightening by precessing Gamma Jets in-off axis

A list of questions regarding Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) and Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) remain unanswered within the Fireball-cone and Magnetar explosive scenarios. A persistent, thin (less than micron-sr solid angle) precessing and spinning gamma jet, with a power output comparable to the progenitor supernova (SN) or XRay pulsar, may explain these issues. The precessing jets may have a few hours characteristic decay time, while their decreasing intensity follow a power law for thousands of years. The orientation of the spinning and precessing beam respect to the line of sight plays a key role : the farthest GRB events in widest cosmic volumes correspond generally to a very narrow and on-axis beam, while for the nearest ones sources are mostly observable off-axis. Consequentely the far ones are the hardest and the most bright and viceversa nearest one are mostly softer and longest ones as in Amati correlation. We expect that nearby off-axis GRBs would be accompanied by a chain of OT and radio bumps as in GRB030329-SN2003 and latest GRB060218-SN2006 events. Delayed blazing jets are observable in the local universe as X-Ray Flahes (XRFs) or short GRBs often as orphan afterglow event, and at closer distances as SGRs and anomalous X-ray Pulsars AXRPs. The gamma jet is originated by ultra-relativistic electron pairs showering via Synchrotron (or Inverse Compton) radiation. The electron pairs escape from the inner SN core thanks to a more penetrating couriers, the relativistic PeV muon pairs, themselves secondaries of inner UHE hadron jets. They are 'transparent' through the SN shells of matter and lights; they decay far away in to electron pairs (and later on) in gamma and neutrinos jets. Then GRBs (and SGRs) are not the most explosive event of the Universe, but just the most beamed ones.

GRBs-SN and SGR-X-Pulsar as Blazing Jets

Old and recent puzzles of GRBs and SGRs find a solution with a model based on the fast blazing of very collimated thin gamma Jets. Damped oscillating afterglows in GRB030329 find a natural explanation assuming a very thin Jet whose persistent activity and different angle of view maybe combined at once with the Supernovae power and the apparent huge GRBs output. The same thin beaming offer an understanding of the apparent SGR-Pulsar power connection. A thin collimated precessing Gamma Jet model for both GRBs and SGRs, at their different scaled luminosity (10^{44} - 10^{38}erg s^-1), explains the existence of few identical energy spectra and time evolution of these sources leading to a unified model. Their similarity with the huge precessing Jets in AGN, QSRs and Radio-Galaxies inspires this smaller scale SGR-GRB model. The spinning-precessing Jet explains the rare mysterious X-Ray precursors in GRBs and SGRs events. Any large Gamma Jet off-axis beaming to the observer might lead to the X-Flash events without any GRB signals, as the most recent XRF030723. Its possible re-brightening would confirm the evidence of the variable pointing of the jet in or off line towards the observer. Indeed a multi-precessing Jet at peak activity in all bands may explain the puzzling X or optical re-brightening bumps found in the GRB 021004, GRB030329 and the SGR 1900+ 14 on 27 August 1998 and once again on the 18 April 2001. Rarest micro-quasars neutron star in our galaxy as SS433, and Herbig Haro objects and Cir-X-1 describe these thin precessing Jet imprints in the spectacular shapes of their relic nebulae.

Five-parton amplitudes with two quarks and two photons at next-to-leading order

We discuss one-loop five-parton amplitudes with two-quark two-photon or three-photon external legs. The amplitudes are required to evaluate the NLO corrections for the $\gamma\gamma jet$ production process at hadron colliders. The results have been already discussed by several groups in terms of QCD amplitudes. Here, we present more straightforward version of one-loop calculations without using the QCD amplitudes.

On the nature of GRB-SGRs blazing jets

The GRB980425-SN1998bw association put in severe strain and contradiction the simplest "candle" fireball model for GRBs. We probed that statistically the association is reliable, the energy luminosity and probability puzzles between cosmic and near by GRBs find a solution within a precessing gamma jet model either for GRBs and SGRs. The expected repetitivity for GRB 980425 has been already, probably, observed on GRB980712.
