GeV-TeV Galactic cosmic rays
This short review aims at presenting the way we currently understand, model, and constrain the transport of cosmic rays in the GeV-TeV energy domain. This is a research field per se, but is also an important tool e.g. to improve our understanding of the cosmic-ray sources, of the diffuse non-thermal Galactic emissions (from radio wavelengths to gamma-rays), or in searches for dark matter annihi...
متن کاملCosmic Rays above the Knee
An overview on the present observational status and phenomenological understanding of cosmic rays above 10 eV is given. Above these energies the cosmic ray flux is expected to be gradually dominated by an extra-galactic component. In order to investigate the nature of this transition, current experimental activities focus on the measurement of the cosmic ray flux and composition at the ’ankle’ ...
متن کاملGalactic cosmic rays
In this brief review we describe the theory of the origin of Galactic cosmic rays. The concept that interaction near the source is the dominant source of γ-rays, and spallation secondaries seems best suited to explain the EGRET γ-spectrum of the inner Galaxy, the abundances of light elements, the anti-protons and the positrons. Also the chemical abundances seem best described as resulting from ...
متن کاملGalactic cosmic rays & gamma rays : a synthesis
We have developed a model which aims to reproduce observational data of many kinds related to cosmic-ray origin and propagation: direct measurements of nuclei, antiprotons, electrons and positrons, γ-rays, and synchrotron radiation. Our main results include evaluation of diffusion/convection and reacceleration models, estimates of the halo size, calculations of the interstellar positron and ant...
متن کاملCosmic rays from Galactic pulsars
We calculate energy spectra and mass composition of cosmic rays accelerated by the galactic population of pulsars during their radio and gamma-ray phase. It is assumed that a significant part of the pulsar rotational energy is lost on acceleration of iron nuclei extracted from the surface of the neutron star. The nuclei are accelerated, at first when passing the outer gap of the inner pulsar ma...
