Models for galactic cosmic-ray propagation [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Space Research, 2001
A new numerical model of particle propagation in the Galaxy has been developed, which allows the study of cosmic-ray and gamma-ray production and propagation in 2D or 3D, including a full reaction network. This is a further development of the code which has been used for studies of cosmic ray reacceleration, Galactic halo size, antiprotons and ...

The influence of galactic cosmic rays on ion-neutral hydrocarbon chemistry in the upper atmospheres of free-floating exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The authors highlight financial support of the European Community under the FP7 by an ERC starting grant.Cosmic rays may be linked to the formation of volatiles necessary for prebiotic chemistry.

Anisotropy and Corotation of Galactic Cosmic Rays [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2006
The intensity of Galactic cosmic rays is nearly isotropic because of the influence of magnetic fields in the Milky Way. Here, we present two-dimensional high-precision anisotropy measurement for energies from a few to several hundred teraelectronvolts (TeV), using the large data sample of the Tibet Air Shower Arrays.

COSMIC RAY PROPAGATION IN GALACTIC TURBULENCE [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2014
We revisit propagation of galactic cosmic rays (CRs) in light of recent advances in CR diffusion theory in realistic interstellar turbulence. We use a tested model of turbulence in which it has been shown that fast modes dominate scattering of CRs. As a result, propagation becomes inhomogeneous and environment dependent.

The Acceleration of Galactic Cosmic Rays [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1981
Although it is clear that cosmic rays are of considerable astrophysical significance we know surprisingly little about their origin(s), their mode(s) of propagation and escape from the galaxy, and even of their general properties. Practically nothing is known of the composition and energy spectra of different species at energies below about 200 MeV ...

Changes in cloud cover associated with Forbush decreases of galactic cosmic rays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The results of a study to quantify the relationship between cloud cover and short-term Forbush decreases (FD) of galactic cosmic ray flux are presented. Using an extensive record of global satellite-derived cloud products from the International Satellite

Formation of the Cosmic-Ray Halo: Galactic Spectrum of Primary Cosmic Rays [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2020
Abstract A self-consistent model of a one-dimensional cosmic-ray (CR) halo around the Galactic disk is formulated with the restriction of a minimum number of free parameters. It is demonstrated that the turbulent cascade of MHD waves does not necessarily play an essential role in the halo formation.

The origin of cosmic rays and TeV gamma-ray astronomy

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Cosmic rays are accelerated to high energies in Galactic and extragalactic objects like Supernova remnants (SNR) and active galactic nuclei (AGN). How these accelerators work and how efficient they accelerate different types of particles to energies of ...

Numerical simulations of mixing conditions and aerosol dynamics in the CERN CLOUD chamber [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
To study the effect of galactic cosmic rays on aerosols and clouds, the Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) project was established. Experiments are carried out at a 26.1 m3 tank at CERN (Switzerland).
