چکیده
This paper summarizes highlights of the OG1 session of the 30th International Cosmic Ray Conference, held in Merida (Yucatan, Mexico). The subsessions (OG1.1, OG1.2, OG1.3, OG1.4 and OG1.5) summarized here were mainly devoted to direct measurements, acceleration and propagation of cosmic rays.

30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Propagation of High-Energy Cosmic Rays through the Galaxy: Discussion and In- terpretation of TRACER Results
Abstract: The long-duration balloon flights of TRACER provide new measurements of the intensities and energy spectra of the arriving cosmic-ray nuclei with 5 ≤ Z ≤ 26 at high energies. In order to determine the particle composition and energy spectra at the cosmic-ray sources, changes occurring during the interstellar propagation of cosmic rays must be known. We use a simple propagation model w...
متن کامل30th International Cosmic Ray Conference
The Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder (TIGER) was launched in December 2001 and 2003 from McMurdo, Antarctica and was designed to observe elements ranging from 14 ≤ Z ≤ 40 over an extended energy range. Observations of radioactive isotopes produced during explosive nucleosynthesis such as Ni that decay only through electron capture provide important constraints on the delay between nucleosyn...
متن کاملCosmic Ray Propagation and Acceleration
Theoretical views on particle acceleration in astrophysical sources and propagation of cosmic rays (CR) depend very much on the quality of the data, which become increasingly accurate each year and therefore more constraining. On the other hand, direct measurements of CR are possible in only one location on the outskirts of the Milky Way and present only a snapshot of very dynamic processes. Th...
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 Nuclear Cosmic Rays propagation in the Atmosphere
The transport of the nuclear cosmic ray flux in the atmosphere is studied and the atmospheric corrections to be applied to the measurements are calculated. The contribution of the calculated corrections to the accuracy of the experimental results are discussed and evaluated over the kinetic energy range 10-10 GeV/n. The Boron (B) and Carbon (C) elements system is used as a test case. It is show...
