Cygnus X-3 as a source of high-energy free gluons
An interpretation is proposed for the unusual properties observed experimentally for the ultrahigh-energy muons that are produced by radiation from the galactic source Cygnus X-3. Specifically, it is suggested that these properties result from the production of these muons by free gluons. This interpretation is supported by the angular spread of the muons around the direction to the source. This spread is attributed here to a multiple scattering of ultrahigh-energy gluons by a thermal gluon gas.
