Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: Roger Blandford, Paul Simeon, Noémie Globus, Payel Mukhopadhyay, Enrico Peretti | Summary: The hypothesis that the entire cosmic ray spectrum, from $lesssim1,{rm GeV}$ to $gtrsim100,{rm EeV}$ energy, can be accounted for by diffusive shock acceleration on increasingly large scales is critically examined. Specifically, it is conjectured that […]
