The Galactic flux of cosmic-ray (CR) positrons in the GeV to TeV energy range is very likely due to different Galactic components. One of these is the inelastic scattering of CR nuclei with the atoms of the interstellar medium. The precise…

Context. The diffuse TeV gamma-ray emission detected in the inner $\sim$ 100 pc of the Galactic Center suggests the existence of a central cosmic-ray accelerator reaching $\sim$ PeV energies. It is interesting to associate this so-called…

Attosecond spectroscopy is currently restricted to photon energies around 100 eV. We show that under these conditions, electron-electron scatterings, as the photoelectrons leave the metal give rise to a tail of secondary electrons with…

Using a semi-analytic model of non-linear diffusive shock acceleration, we model the spectrum of cosmic ray (CR) electrons accelerated by supernova remnants (SNRs). Because electrons experience synchrotron losses in the amplified magnetic…

The total cosmic ray electron spectrum (electrons plus positrons) exhibits a break at a particle energy of $\sim 1\rm~TeV$ and extends without any attenuation up to $\rm \sim 20~ TeV $. Synchrotron and inverse Compton energy losses strongly…

In studies of cosmic-ray (CR) propagation and diffuse continuum gamma-ray emission from the Galaxy it has usually been assumed that the source function can be taken as smooth and time-independent. However, especially for electrons at high…

The excess of continuum gamma-ray emission from the Galaxy above 1 GeV is an unsolved puzzle. It may indicate that the interstellar nucleon or electron spectra are harder than local direct measurements, as could be the case if a local…
