Gamma-ray induced cascades in cosmic environments

The new generation of gamma-ray telescopes has revealed a rich sky at very high photon energies. The unveiling of the nature of these sources and the understanding of the physical processes that give rise to the gammaray emission are among the most important present challenges of high-energy astroph...
