Abstract

The observational signatures of relativistic shock break-out at the surface of Hypernova star are investigated. The interaction of accelerated particles with the particles of circumstellar medium is considered. Particularly we analyze a gamma-ray flash as a result of inelastic proton-proton collisions. The parameters of the flash are calculated and conditions of its detection are estimated.
