DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/IFTWeb/52/">
 Searching for evidence of TeV-scale electron/positron acceleration by Mill
 isecond Pulsars</a>\nby O. Macias Ramirez (GRAPPA. Amsterdam) as part of I
 FT-Madrid Webinars\n\n\nAbstract\nPulsars have long been predicted to be s
 ources of electron/positron (e-e+) pairs. Highly energetic e-e+ in the win
 d regions\, or inner magnetospheres of pulsars\, and also when released in
 to the interstellar medium\, can inverse-Compton IC) scatter ambient photo
 ns to very high energies. Recent HAWC observations of extended TeV-scale g
 amma-ray emission around Geminga and Monogem have provided indirect eviden
 ce for multi-TeV e-e+ acceleration in young pulsar nebulae. However\, pred
 icting and observing very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from rotation-pow
 ered millisecond pulsars (MSPs) presents a number of challenges compared t
 o that of the non-recycled pulsar population. During this talk\, I will su
 mmarize these challenges\, and present our recent exciting results where w
 e find evidence for very-high-energy gamma ray emission from populations o
 f MSPs residing in globular clusters of the Milky Way. I will further high
 light the unique capabilities of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to detect t
 he expected IC signal from a putative population of 10 to 50 thousand MSPs
  in the center of our Galaxy.\n
