Cosmic ray propagation in turbulent magnetic fields

نویسندگان

چکیده

Propagation of cosmic rays (CRs) in turbulent and magnetized astrophysical media is a long-standing problem that requires both understanding the properties magnetic fields their interaction with energetic particles. This review focuses on selected recent theoretical findings made based progress simulating magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. In particular, we address perpendicular parallel propagation CRs identify conditions when superdiffusive diffusive. For diffusion, discuss problems traditionally used diffusion mechanism arising from pitch angle scattering possible solutions provided by recently identified “mirror diffusion” presence mirrors.

Time Delays in Cosmic Ray Propagation

Cosmic Rays (CR) travel at speeds essentially indistinguishable from the speed of light. However whilst travelling through magnetic fields, both regular and turbulent, they are delayed behind the light since they are usually charged particles and their paths are not linear. Those delays can be so long that they are an impediment to correctly identifying sources which may be variable in time. Fu...

Cosmic Magnetic Fields and Their Influence on Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray Propagation

We discuss the influence of large scale cosmic magnetic fields on the propagation of hadronic cosmic rays above 10 eV based on large scale structure simulations. Our simulations suggest that rather substantial deflection up to several tens of degrees at 10 eV are possible for nucleon primaries. Further, spectra and composition of cosmic rays from individual sources can depend on magnetic fields...

The effect of highly structured cosmic magnetic fields on ultra-high energy cosmic ray propagation

The possibility that the magnetic field is strongly correlated with the large-scale structure of the universe has been recently considered in the literature. In this scenario the intergalactic magnetic field has a strong (μG) regular component spanning tens of Mpc but localized in sheets and filaments, while the vast voids in between are almost free of magnetic field. If true, this could have i...

Propagation of high-energy cosmic rays in extragalactic turbulent magnetic fields: resulting energy spectrum and composition

We extend previous studies of mixed-composition extragalactic cosmic-ray source models, by investigating the influence of a non-negligible extragalactic magnetic field on the propagated cosmic-ray spectrum and composition. We study the transport of charged particles in turbulent fields and the transition from a ballistic to a diffusive propagation regime. We introduce a method allowing a fast i...
