The bright TeV source HESS J1640-465 is positionally coincident with the young SNR G338.3-0.0, and the nearby HESS J1641-463 with TeV gamma-ray emission seems to be closely associated with it. Based on the nonlinear diffusion shock acceleration (NLDSA) model, we explore the emission from these two TeV sources, the particle diffusion is assumed to be different inside and outside the absorbing boundary of the particles accelerated in the SNR shock. The results indicate that (1) the GeV to TeV emission from the region of the HESS J1640-465 is produced as a result of the particle acceleration inside the SNR G338.3-0.0; and (2) the runaway cosmic-ray particles outside the SNR are interacting with nearby dense molecular cloud (MC) at the region of the HESS J1641-463, corresponding $pi^0$ decay gamma-ray in proton-proton collision contribute to the TeV emission from the HESS J1641-463. Also we investigate the possible X-ray emission in molecular cloud from synchrotron procedure by secondary $e^pm$ produced through escaped protons interaction with the MC.

We present a detailed analysis of the interstellar medium towards the TeV $gamma$-ray sources HESS J1640$-$465 and HESS J1641$-$463 using results from the Mopra Southern Galactic Plane CO Survey and from a Mopra 7 mm-wavelength study. The $gamma$-ray
sources are positionally coincident with two supernova remnants G338.3$-$0.0 and G338.5+0.1 respectively. A bright complex of HII regions connect the two SNRs and TeV objects. Observations in the CO(1-0) transition lines reveal substantial amounts of diffuse gas positionally coincident with the $gamma$-ray sources at multiple velocities along the line of sight, while 7 mm observations in CS, SiO, HC$_{3}$N and CH$_{3}$OH transition lines reveal regions of dense, shocked gas. Archival HI data from the Southern Galactic Plane Survey was used to account for the diffuse atomic gas. Physical parameters of the gas towards the TeV sources were calculated from the data. We find that for a hadronic origin for the $gamma$-ray emission, the cosmic-ray enhancement rates are $sim 10^{3}$ and $10^{2}$ times the local solar value for HESS J1640$-$465 and HESS J1641$-$463 respectively.
We report on gamma-ray analysis of the region containing the bright TeV source HESS J1640-465 and the close-by TeV source HESS J1641-463 using 64 months of observations with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). Previously only one GeV source was rep
orted in this region and was associated with HESS J1640-465. With an increased dataset and the improved sensitivity afforded by the reprocessed data (P7REP) of the LAT, we now report the detection, morphological study and spectral analysis of two distinct sources above 100 MeV. The softest emission in this region comes from the TeV source HESS J1641-463 which is well fitted with a power law of index Gamma = 2.47 +/- 0.05 +/- 0.06 and presents no significant gamma-ray signal above 10 GeV, which contrasts with its hard spectrum at TeV energies. The Fermi-LAT spectrum of the second TeV source, HESS J1640-465 is well described by a power-law shape of index Gamma = 1.99 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.07 that links up naturally with the spectral data points obtained by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.). These new results provide new constraints concerning the identification of these two puzzling gamma-ray sources.
There are only few very-high-energy sources in our Galaxy which might accelerate particles up to the knee of the cosmic-ray spectrum. To understand the mechanisms of particle acceleration in these PeVatron candidates, textit{Fermi}-LAT and H.E.S.S. o
bservations are essential to characterize their $gamma$-ray emission. HESS J1640$-$465 and the PeVatron candidate HESS J1641$-$463 are two neighboring (ang[astroang]{0.25}) $gamma$-ray sources, spatially coincident with the radio supernova remnants (SNRs) G338.3$-$0.0 and G338.5+0.1. Detected both by H.E.S.S. and textit{Fermi}-LAT, we present here a morphological and spectral analysis of these two sources using 8 years of textit{Fermi}-LAT data between 200 si{megaelectronvolt} and 1 si{teraelectronvolt} with multi-wavelength observations to assess their nature. The morphology of HESS J1640$-$465 is described by a 2D Gaussian ($sigma=$ ang[astroang]{0.053} $pm$ ang[astroang]{0.011}$_{stat}$ $ pm$ ang[astroang]{0.03}$_{syst}$) and its spectrum is modeled by a power-law with a spectral index $Gamma = 1.8pm0.1_{rm stat}pm0.2_{rm syst}$. HESS J1641$-$463 is detected as a point-like source and its GeV emission is described by a logarithmic-parabola spectrum with $alpha = 2.7 pm 0.1_ {rm stat} pm 0.2_ {rm syst} $ and significant curvature of $beta = 0.11 pm 0.03_ {rm stat} pm 0.05_ {rm syst} $. Radio and X-ray flux upper limits were derived. We investigated scenarios to explain their emission, namely the emission from accelerated particles within the SNRs spatially coincident with each source, molecular clouds illuminated by cosmic rays from the close-by SNRs, and a pulsar/PWN origin. Our new emph{Fermi}-LAT results and the radio and flux X-ray upper limits pose severe constraints on some of these models.
The results of follow-up observations of the TeV gamma-ray source HESSJ 1640-465 from 2004 to 2011 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) are reported in this work. The spectrum is well described by an exponential cut-off power law with
photon index Gamma=2.11 +/- 0.09_stat +/- 0.10_sys, and a cut-off energy of E_c = (6.0 +2.0 -1.2) TeV. The TeV emission is significantly extended and overlaps with the north-western part of the shell of the SNR G338.3-0.0. The new H.E.S.S. results, a re-analysis of archival XMM-Newton data, and multi-wavelength observations suggest that a significant part of the gamma-ray emission from HESS J1640-465 originates in the SNR shell. In a hadronic scenario, as suggested by the smooth connection of the GeV and TeV spectra, the product of total proton energy and mean target density could be as high as W_p n_H ~ 4 x 10^52 (d/10kpc)^2 erg cm^-3.
A new TeV source, HESS J1641-463, has been serendipitously discovered in the Galactic plane by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) at a significance level of 8.6 standard deviations. The observations of HESS J1641-463 were performed betwee
n 2004 and 2011 and the source has a moderate flux level of 1.7% of the Crab Nebula flux at E > 1 TeV. HESS J1641-463 has a rather hard photon index of 1.99 +- 0.13_stat +- 0.20_sys. HESS J1641-463 is positionally coincident with the radio supernova remnant SNR G338.5+0.1, but no clear X-ray counterpart has been found in archival Chandra observations of the region. Different possible VHE production scenarios will be discussed in this contribution.
