The energy range encompassing the ankle of the cosmic ray energy spectrum probably marks the exhaustion of the accelerating sources in our Galaxy, as well as the end of the Galactic confinement. Furthermore, this is the region where the extragalactic flux penetrates the interstellar medium and starts, progressively, to be dominant. Although at lower energies it is likely that an average population of supernova remnants can be defined to account for most of the cosmic ray flux, this assumption is increasingly difficult to maintain as higher energies are considered. One possibility is that supernovas are still a main contributor along the first branch of the ankle region, but that the acceleration is now coming from well localized regions with a characteristic interstellar medium, or a sub-population of supernovas exploding in a peculiar circumstellar environment. These possibilities are analyzed in the present work using a two-dimensional diffusion model for cosmic ray propagation. Special emphasis is given to the inner 200 pc of our Galaxy and to the spiral arm structure in relation with the Sun position inside the disk.
The cosmic ray flux measured by the Telescope Array Low Energy Extension (TALE) exhibits three spectral features: the knee, the dip in the $10^{16}$ eV decade, and the second knee. Here the spectrum has been measured for the first time using fluoresc
Recent observations of the diffuse Galactic gamma-ray emission by the Fermi-LAT satellite have shown significant deviations from models which assume the same diffusion properties for cosmic rays (CR) throughout the Galaxy. We explore the possibility
The X-ray emission from the central region of the Galactic plane, |l|<45 deg and |b|<0.4 deg, was studied in the 0.7-10 keV energy band with a spatial resolution of ~3 with the ASCA observatory. We developed a new analysis method for the ASCA data to
Local muon density spectra (LMDS) at various zenith angles have been reconstructed from the data of two detectors of the Experimental complex NEVOD. The inclined muon bundles at the ground level were detected with the coordinate detector DECOR, and f
The positron excess measured by PAMELA and AMS can only be explained if there is one or several sources injecting them. Moreover, at the highest energies, it requires the presence of nearby ($sim$hundreds of parsecs) and middle age (maximum of $sim$h
