Galactic modulation of extragalactic cosmic rays: Possible origin of the knee in the cosmic ray spectrum
The existence of the spectral break around ∼ 3 × 10 eV in the cosmic ray spectrum (referred to as the ‘knee’) is one of the biggest questions in cosmic ray astrophysics. At the same time, the origin of cosmic rays above the knee energies (between 10 and 10 eV) is also still unsettled. In this paper, we investigate how the hypothetical extragalactic CRs after modulated by the galactic wind contr...
متن کاملCosmic ray spectrum and anisotropies from the knee to the second knee
We consider the scenario in which the knee in the cosmic ray spectrum is due to a change in the escape mechanism of cosmic rays from the Galaxy from one dominated by transverse diffusion to one dominated by drifts. We show that this scenario explains not only the changes in spectral slope at the knee and at the second knee, but can also account for the main characteristics of the observed energ...
متن کاملThe Physics of the Knee in the Cosmic Ray Spectrum
Recent results from the KASCADE extensive air shower experiment are presented. After briefly reviewing the status of the experiment we report on tests of hadronic interaction models and emphasize the progress being made in understanding the properties and origin of the knee at eV. Analysing the muonand hadron trigger rates in the KASCADE calorimeter as well as the global properties of high ener...
متن کاملPropagation 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...
