Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | Summary:We propose that a hierarchical shock model$unicodex2014$including supernova remnant shocks, galactic wind termination shocks, and accretion shocks around cosmic filaments and galaxy clusters$unicodex2014$can naturally explain the cosmic ray spectrum from ~1 GeV up to ~200 EeV. While this framework applies to the entire cosmic ray spectrum, in this work, we […]
