Exploring the superwind mechanism for generating ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays using large-scale modeling of starbursts
arXiv:2004.09378 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.102.023034
Abstract
The Pierre Auger Collaboration has provided a compelling indication for a possible correlation between the arrival directions of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays and nearby starburst galaxies. Herein we show how the latest large-scale modeling of starburst galaxies is compatible with the cosmic rays producing the anisotropy signal being accelerated at the terminal shock of superwinds.
