Cosmic-ray electron injection from the ionization of nuclei
G. Morlino
We show that the secondary electrons ejected from the ionization of heavy ions can be injected into the acceleration process that occurs at supernova remnant shocks. This electron…

Gamma ray emission from SNR RX J1713.7-3946 and the origin of galactic cosmic rays
G. Morlino, E. Amato, P. Blasi
We calculate the flux of non-thermal radiations from the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 in the context of the non-linear theory of particle acceleration at shocks, which allows…

Particle acceleration at shock waves: particle spectrum as a function of the equation of state of the shocked plasma
G. Morlino, P. Blasi, M. Vietri
We determine the spectrum of particles accelerated at shocks with arbitrary speed and arbitrary scattering properties for different choices of the equation of state of the downstre…
