Origin of TeV Galactic cosmic rays [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2012 We consider a possibility of identification of sources of cosmic rays (CR) of the energy above 1 TeV via observation of degree-scale extended gamma-ray emission which traces the locations of recent sources in the Galaxy. Such emission in the energy band above 100 GeV is produced by CR nuclei and electrons released by the sources and spreading into the ...

Transition from Galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays and cosmic ray anisotropy
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 This talk based on results of ref. [1], where we constrain the energy at which the transition from Galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays occurs by computing the anisotropy at Earth of cosmic rays emitted by Galactic sources.

Giant Molecular Clouds as probes of of Galactic Cosmic Rays with Fermi-LAT [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 Direct measurements of Cosmic Rays (CRs) can not extend much further than the Solar System. In order to probe the so-called “sea” of Galactic Cosmic Rays, one should rely on secondary emission.

Extragalactic and galactic sources: New evidence, new challenges, new opportunities
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 Recent data bring in sharper focus the issue of relative contributions of galactic and extragalactic sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. On the one hand, there is some new evidence, from gamma-ray observations of blazars, that cosmic rays are ...

Recurrent variations of anomalous oxygen in association with a corotating interaction region [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1996 The fluxes of anomalous oxygen (E ranging from 3.5-6.8 MeV/amu), as measured by the EPAC instrument on ULYSSES, show a recurrent variation with the solar rotation period, which is anticorrelated with the fluxes of particles accelerated at the shocks ...

Assessment of galactic cosmic ray models [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2012 Among several factors involved in the development of a manned space mission concept, the astronauts' health is a major concern that needs to be considered carefully. Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), which mainly consist of high‐energetic nuclei ranging from hydrogen to iron and beyond, pose a major radiation health risk in long‐term space missions.

GALACTIC AND EXTRAGALACTIC SUPERNOVA REMNANTS AS SITES OF PARTICLE ACCELERATION
Acta Polytechnica, 2013 Supernova remnants, owing to their strong shock waves, are likely sources of Galactic cosmic rays. Studies of supernova remnants in X-rays and gamma rays provide us with new insights into the acceleration of particles to high energies. This paper reviews

Observation of New Properties of Secondary Cosmic Rays Lithium, Beryllium, and Boron by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station [PDF]
, 2019 We report on the observation of new properties of secondary cosmic rays Li, Be, and B measured in the rigidity (momentum per unit charge) range 1.9 GV to 3.3 TV with a total of $5.4 \times 10^6$ nuclei collected by AMS during the first five years of ...

The galactic cosmic ray ionization rate [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 The chemistry that occurs in the interstellar medium in response to cosmic ray ionization is summarized, and a review of the ionization rates that have been derived from measurements of molecular abundances is presented. The successful detection of large abundances of H 3 +

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 We discuss the basic features of the propagation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays in astrophysical backgrounds, comparing two alternative computation schemes to compute the expected fluxes.
