The primary cosmic ray spectrum in supernova remnants from very high energy γ-ray data
Supernova remnants are likely to be the accelerators of the galactic cosmic rays. Assuming the correctness of this hypothesis, we develop a method to extract the parent cosmic ray spectrum from the VHE gamma ray flux emitted by supernova remnants (and other gamma transparent sources). We illustrate the use of this technique by applying it to the young SNR RX J1713.7-3946 which has been observed...
متن کاملEvidence for a high-energy cosmic-ray spectrum cutoff.
© 1985 The American Physical Society 1875 In 1966, Roll and Wilkinson reported the first confirmation that the intense isotropic radiation observed earlier by Penzias and Wilson 2 was thermal in nature and all pervasive, characteristic of a universe cooled to a temperature of 2.7 K. Given the previous report by Linsley of the detection of a primary cosmic ray with an energy estimated to be in e...
متن کاملExploring the High-Energy Cosmic Ray Spectrum with a Toy Model of Cosmic Ray Diffusion
We introduce a static toy model of the cosmic ray (CR) universe in which cosmic ray propagation is taken to be diffusive and cosmic ray sources are distributed randomly with a density the same as that of local L∗ galaxies, 5 × 10 −3 Mpc. These sources “fire” at random times through the history of the universe but with a set expectation time for the period between bursts. Our toy model model cap...
متن کاملThe Knee in the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum: a Pulsar, Supernova Origin?
The origin of the prominent 'knee' in the cosmic ray energy spectrum at an energy of several PeV is still uncertain. A recent mechanism has shown promise, however; this involves particles from a very young pulsar interacting with the radiation field from its associated very young supernova remnant. The ensuing nuclear reaction of the particles with the photons by way of + e e production then ca...
متن کاملHigh energy particles from cosmic sources
In this review it will be attempted to briefly cover some of the recent developments in the observation of photons and neutrinos to constrain models on the origin and acceleration of cosmic rays. It appears that EGRET on board of CGRO provides most valuable new data in that context. Data from high energy airshower arrays and Tscherenkov telescopes add to the picture although not yet strong enou...
