Detection of the Characteristic Pion-Decay Signature in Supernova Remnants

LAT collaboration, M. Ackermann, M. Ajello +167

Cosmic rays are particles (mostly protons) accelerated to relativistic speeds. Despite wide agreement that supernova remnants (SNRs) are the sources of galactic cosmic rays, unequi…
