Particle acceleration in supernova remnants
Supernova remnants (SNR) are the most likely source of galactic cosmic rays (CRs) up to the 'knee' in the spectrum at a few PeV. The theory of diffusive shock acceleration nicely supplies a power law energy distribution with approximately the desired spectral index and with suitably high e...
