On the Energy Spectra of GeV/TeV Cosmic Ray Leptons
Recent observations of cosmic ray electrons from several instruments have revealed various degrees of deviation in the measured electron energy distribution from a simple power-law, in a form of an excess around 0.1 to 1TeV energies. An even more prominent deviation and excess has been observed in the fraction of cosmic ray positrons around 10 and 100GeV energies. These observations have receiv...
متن کاملRevisiting the hardening of the cosmic-ray energy spectrum at TeV energies
Measurements of cosmic rays by experiments such as ATIC, CREAM, and PAMELA indicate a hardening of the cosmic-ray energy spectrum at TeV energies. In our recent work (Thoudam & Hörandel 2012a), we showed that the hardening can be due to the effect of nearby supernova remnants. We showed it for the case of proton and helium. In this paper, we present an improved and detailed version of our previ...
متن کاملThe Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum above 3 1018 eVMeasured by the
We report a rst result on the cosmic ray energy spectrum above 3 10 18 eV measured by the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA) from July 1990 to February 1994. The analysis method and the energy resolution of the AGASA experiment are described in some detail. The attening of the spectrum around 10 19 eV (ankle) is observed with a signicance of 2.9. If we express the diierential energy spectrum ...
متن کاملAnomaly in the cosmic-ray energy spectrum at GeV–TeV energies
Recent measurements of cosmic rays by various experiments have found that the energy spectrum of cosmic rays is harder in the TeV region than at GeV energies. The origin of the spectral hardening is not clearly understood. In this paper, we discuss the possibility that the spectral hardening might be due to the effect of re-acceleration of cosmic rays by weak shocks associated with old supernov...
متن کاملCosmic-Ray proton spectrum below 100 TeV in the local region
The propagation of cosmic-ray protons in the Galaxy is discussed under the framework of a three dimensional convection-diffusion model. Starting with the assumption of a uniform and continuous distribution of cosmic-ray sources injecting CRs continuously in the Galaxy and by invoking a supernova explosion at various distances from the Earth, it is found that only those sources located within a ...
