Primary Cosmic-ray Spectrum and the Intensity of Atmospheric Neutrinos∗
Measurements of the intensity of primary cosmic-ray protons reported in the last two years suggest a lower normalization than some earlier measurements. Here we comment on the measurements, compare them to the assumptions made in two independent calculations of atmospheric neutrinos and discuss the possible consequences for interpretation of measurements of atmospheric neutrinos. In a series of...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملBESS-Polar II Measurements of the Cosmic-ray Proton and Helium Spectra at Solar Minimum
The energy spectra of cosmic-ray protons and helium near solar minimum were precisely measured with BESS-Polar II (Balloon-borne Experiment with a Superconducting Spectrometer) during a long-duration flight over Antarctica in December 2007 and January 2008, and are discussed here. The absolute fluxes and spectral shapes of primary protons and helium probe the origin and the propagation history ...
متن کاملTime 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...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Voyager observations of energetic particles near the solar wind termination shock
Voyager 1 is observing the energy spectra of anomalous cosmic ray H, He, and O in the heliosheath. The relative abundance of H/He is 20 at 1-1.5 MeV/nuc, indicating that H pickup ions are more efficiently accelerated than was modeled from observations at higher energies. Voyager 2 began observing upstream energetic ions from the shock in late 2004 at ∼75 AU, about 10 AU closer to the Sun than o...
