The Maximum Energy of Shock-accelerated Cosmic Rays

Identifying the accelerators of Galactic cosmic ray (CR) protons with energies up to a few PeV (10 ^15 eV) remains a theoretical and observational challenge. Supernova remnants (SNRs) represent strong candidates because they provide sufficient energetics to reproduce the CR flux observed at Earth. H...
