Description

TeV emission from the Galactic center strongly suggests the existence of a hadronic Pevatron located within ~10 pc of Sgr A*. If there is indeed a PeV proton/ion source and abundant molecular clouds in the surrounding, we expect several different observable effects such as multi-TeV neutrino, gamma-ray photons and electrons. In this presentation, I will discuss our efforts finding traces of the Galactic center hadronic PeVatron using magnetic filaments and molecular clouds, aiming for a unified picture to explain several high-energy phenomena in the central a few hundred parsecs.
