On the Propagation of Galactic Cosmic Rays
- Abstract:
-
Recent observations of cosmic ray composition imply that the average amount of interstellar matter traversed by the cosmic rays before escaping from the Galaxy decreases as their energy increases. These observations are reviewed in Chapter 1 together with other relevant observations of the cosmic ray composition, spectrum and anisotropy.
In Chapter 2 theories on the origin and propagation of galactic cosmic rays are reviewed in the ligjit of the data presented in the first chapter. ...
