Direct Measurements, Acceleration and Propagation of Cosmic Rays

Pasquale Blasi

This paper summarizes highlights of the OG1 session of the 30th International Cosmic Ray Conference, held in Merida (Yucatan, Mexico). The subsessions (OG1.1, OG1.2, OG1.3, OG1.4 a…

A kinetic approach to non resonant modes and growth rates of streaming instability: consequences for shock acceleration

Pasquale Blasi, Elena Amato

We show here that a purely kinetic approach to the excitation of waves by cosmic rays in the vicinity of a shock front leads to predict the appearance of a non-alfvenic fastly grow…

Theory of nonlinear particle acceleration at shocks and self-generation of the magnetic field

Pasquale Blasi, Elena Amato

We present some recent developments in the theory of particle acceleration at shock fronts in the presence of dynamical reaction of the accelerated particles and self-generation of…

Signatures of the transition from galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays

R. Aloisio, V. Berezinsky, P. Blasi +1

We discuss the signatures of the transition from galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays in different scenarios, giving most attention to the dip scenario. The dip is a feature in th…

Numerical Propagation of Cosmic Rays in the Galaxy

Daniel De Marco, Pasquale Blasi, Todor Stanev

We present a Monte-Carlo (MC) calculation of the propagation of cosmic ray protons in the Galaxy for energies above 1 PeV. We discuss the relative strengths of competing effects su…

Thermal Particle Injection in Nonlinear Diffusive Shock Acceleration

Donald C. Ellison, Pasquale Blasi, Stefano Gabici

Particle acceleration in collisionless astrophysical shocks, i.e., diffusive shock acceleration (DSA), is the most likely mechanism for producing cosmic rays, at least below 10^{15…
