Production and propagation of cosmic-ray positrons and electrons
We have made a new calculation of the cosmic-ray secondary positron spectrum using a diffusive halo model for Galactic cosmic-ray propagation. The code computes self-consistently the spectra of primary and secondary nucleons, primary electrons, and secondary positrons and electrons. The models are first adjusted to agree with the observed cosmic-ray Boron/Carbon ratio, and the interstellar prot...
متن کاملAnomalous transport of cosmic ray electrons
Anomalous transport processes in which the variance of the distance travelled does not necessarily increase linearly with time: 〈 ∆x 〉 ∝ t with 0 < α < 2 are modelled using the formalism of continuous time random walks. We compute particle propagators which have the required dependence on space and time and use these to find the spatial dependence of the synchrotron radiation emitted by a popul...
متن کاملEnergies of Cosmic-Ray Particles
Cloud chamber photographs of cosmic-ray tracks in a magnetic field up to 17,000 gauss are shown. On the assumption that the particles producing the tracks are travelling downward through the chamber rather than upward, particles of positive charge appear as well as electrons. From the specific ionization along the track it is concluded that the positives are protons, and are not nuclei of charg...
متن کاملCosmic-Ray Positive and Negative Electrons
A determination of the specific ionization of cosmic-ray particles, 6rst, by a count of the number of drops per cm along cosmic-ray tracks on cloud-chamber photographs and, second, by measurements of the energy loss in lead has shown that the great bulk of the cosmic-ray particles of positive charge are positive electrons. The primary ionization was found to be about 31 ion-pairs per cm in air ...
متن کاملCosmic Ray particle production
The status of some popular models to simulate hadronic and nuclear interactions at Cosmic Ray energies is reviewed. The models predict the rise of all the hadronic and nuclear cross sections with energy and a smooth (logarithmic) rise of average multiplicities, rapidity plateaus and average transverse momenta with the energy. Big differences are found between model predictions partly already at...
