Composition of Cosmic Rays with the Energy more than 4x10^{19} eV

A. A. Mikhailov

Arrival directions of extensive air showers by using world data are considered. It is found that the shower distribution in zenith angle at the energies E>10^{19} eV and E>4x10^{19…

Confirmation of strong magnetic field amplification and nuclear cosmic ray acceleration in SN 1006

E. G. Berezhko, L. T. Ksenofontov, H. J. Voelk

It is shown that the nonlinear kinetic model of cosmic ray (CR) acceleration in supernova remnants (SNRs) fits the shell-type nonthermal X-ray morphology, obtained in Chandra obser…

Cosmic ray production in supernova remnants including reacceleration: the secondary to primary ratio

E. G. Berezhko, L. T. Ksenofontov, V. S. Ptuskin +2

We study the production of cosmic rays (CRs) in supernova remnants (SNRs), including the reacceleration of background galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) - thus refining the early consider…

Variation of cosmic ray injection across supernova shocks

H. J. Voelk, E. G. Berezhko, L. T. Ksenofontov

The injection rate of suprathermal protons into the diffusive shock acceleration process should vary strongly over the surface of supernova remnant shocks. These variations and the…

The energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 10^15 eV as derived from air Cherenkov light measurements in Yakutsk

A. A. Ivanov, S. P. Knurenko, I. Ye. Sleptsov

The Yakutsk array observes the Cherenkov light emitted by UHECR in atmosphere. Recently, an autonomous subarray is added consisting of photomultipliers to measure the showers in th…

Gamma-ray emission from Cassiopeia A produced by accelerated cosmic rays

E. G. Berezhko, G. Puehlhofer, H. J. Voelk

The nonlinear kinetic model of cosmic ray (CR) acceleration in supernova remnants (SNRs) is used to describe the relevant properties of Cassiopeia A (Cas A). In order to reproduce…
