Nuclear Physics Meets the Sources of the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays
Abstract The determination of the injection composition of cosmic ray nuclei within astrophysical sources requires sufficiently accurate descriptions of the source physics and the propagation – apart from controlling astrophysical uncertainties. We therefore study the implications of nuclear data an...
