Time Delays in Cosmic Ray Propagation
نویسنده
چکیده مقاله:
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. Furthermore deduction of CR sources without knowing CR time delays is not possible, so the magnitude of such delays will be discussed and compared to the characteristic time variation of possible cosmic ray sources.

متن کاملCosmic ray propagation and acceleration
This report covers the studies of energetic particle propagation and acceleration presented during the 27th ICRC in sessions OG 1.3 and 1.4 , plus a few selected papers from neighbouring OG sections. We list problems discussed within these sections and we shortly describe selected interesting achievements and/or novel approaches.
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 کاملPropagation of Cosmic Rays: Nuclear Physics in Cosmic-Ray Studies
The nuclei fraction in cosmic rays (CR) far exceeds the fraction of other CR species, such as antiprotons, electrons, and positrons. Thus the majority of information obtained from CR studies is based on interpretation of isotopic abundances using CR propagation models where the nuclear data and isotopic production cross sections in pand α-induced reactions are the key elements. This paper prese...
متن کاملCosmic Ray Origin, Acceleration and Propagation
This paper summarizes highlights of the OG3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 sessions of the XXVIth International Cosmic Ray Conference in Salt Lake City, which were devoted to issues of origin/composition, acceleration and propagation.
متن کاملCosmic Ray Origin and Propagation Model
It is presumed that the observed cosmic rays up to about 3 × 1018 eV are of Galactic origin, the particles being the ones which are found in the composition of the stellar winds of stars that explode as supernova into the interstellar medium (ISM) or into their winds. These particles are accelerated in the supernova shock. In order to obtain the observed cosmic ray spectrum it is necessary to t...
