New developments in the GALPROP CR propagation model

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The GALPROP cosmic-ray (CR) propagation model has been extended to three dimensions including the effects of stochastic SNR sources, a comprehensive cross-section database, and nuclear reaction networks. A brief description of the new code is given and some illustrative results for the distribution of CR protons presented. Results for electrons and gamma rays are given in an accompanying paper.
