نویسنده
چکیده
A new numerical model of particle propagation in the Galaxy has been developed, which allows the study of cosmic-ray and gamma-ray production and propagation in 2D or 3D, including a full reaction network. This is a further development of the code which has been used for studies of cosmic ray reacceleration, Galactic halo size, antiprotons and positrons in cosmic rays, the interpretation of diffuse continuum gamma rays, and dark matter. In this paper we illustrate recent results focussing on B/C, sub-Fe/Fe, ACE radioactive isotope data, source abundances and antiprotons. From the radioactive nuclei we derive a range of 3–7 kpc for the height of the cosmic-ray halo.

Based on the " cannonball model " for gamma-ray bursts of Dar and De Rújula it is proposed that masses of baryonic plasma (" cannonballs "), ejected in bipolar super-nova explosions in our Galaxy are the sources of hadronic Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) at all energies. The propagation of the cannonballs in the Galactic disk and halo is studied. Two mechanisms for the acceleration of the observed ...

The supernovae Ia data are used to analyze two general exact solutions for quintessence models. The best fit values for Ω m0 are smaller than in the Λ-term model, but still acceptable. With present-day data, it is not possible to discriminate among the various situations.
