Threshold meson production and cosmic ray transport
An interesting accident of nature is that the peak of the cosmic ray spectrum, for both protons and heavier nuclei, occurs near the pion production threshold. The Boltzmann transport equation contains a term which is the cosmic ray flux multiplied by the cross section. Therefore when considering pion and kaon production from proton-proton reactions, small cross sections at low energy can be as ...
متن کاملNumerical Models for Cosmic Ray Propagation and Gamma Ray Production
An extensive program for the calculation of galactic cosmic-ray propagation has been developed. Primary and secondary nucleons, primary and secondary electrons, and secondary positrons are included. The basic spatial propagation mechanisms are (momentum-dependent) diffusion, convection, while in momentum space energy loss and diffusive reacceleration are treated. Fragmentation and energy losses...
متن کاملInterstellar Gamma Ray Lines from Low Energy Cosmic Ray Interactions
Evidence for the existence of low energy cosmic rays in the Galaxy comes from the COMPTEL observations of gamma ray line emission from Orion, and also from light element abundance data which seem to suggest a low energy rather than a relativistic Galactic cosmic ray origin for most of the light elements. The Orion and light isotope data are more consistent with a composition that is depleted in...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Study of Cosmic-Ray Propagation in the Galaxy and Diffuse Gamma- Ray Production
This work presents preliminary results for the time-dependent cosmic-ray propagation in the Galaxy by a fully 3-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation. The distribution of cosmic-rays (both protons and helium nuclei) in the Galaxy is studied on various spatial scales for both constant and variable cosmicray sources. The continuous diffuse gamma-ray emission produced by cosmic-rays during the propag...
