متن کاملGalactic cosmic rays
In this brief review we describe the theory of the origin of Galactic cosmic rays. The concept that interaction near the source is the dominant source of γ-rays, and spallation secondaries seems best suited to explain the EGRET γ-spectrum of the inner Galaxy, the abundances of light elements, the anti-protons and the positrons. Also the chemical abundances seem best described as resulting from ...
متن کاملRadiative Energy Loss by Galactic Cosmic Rays
Interactions between galactic cosmic rays and matter are a primary focus of the NASA radiation problem. The electromagnetic forces involved are for the most part well documented. Building on previous research, this study investigated the relative importance of the weak forces that occur when a cosmic ray impinges on di!erent types of materials. For the familiar electromagnetic case, it is known...
متن کاملGalactic cosmic rays & gamma rays : a synthesis
We have developed a model which aims to reproduce observational data of many kinds related to cosmic-ray origin and propagation: direct measurements of nuclei, antiprotons, electrons and positrons, γ-rays, and synchrotron radiation. Our main results include evaluation of diffusion/convection and reacceleration models, estimates of the halo size, calculations of the interstellar positron and ant...
متن کاملCosmic rays from Galactic pulsars
We calculate energy spectra and mass composition of cosmic rays accelerated by the galactic population of pulsars during their radio and gamma-ray phase. It is assumed that a significant part of the pulsar rotational energy is lost on acceleration of iron nuclei extracted from the surface of the neutron star. The nuclei are accelerated, at first when passing the outer gap of the inner pulsar ma...
