AMS-02 on board the ISS provides precise measurements of Cosmic Rays (CR) near Earth, while Voyager measures CR in the local interstellar medium, beyond the effects of solar modulation. Based on these data, we test and revise various CR…
Diffusion of cosmic rays (CRs) is the key process of understanding their propagation and acceleration. We employ the description of spatial separation of magnetic field lines in MHD turbulence in Lazarian & Vishniac (1999) to quantify the…

The most significant feature in the cosmic-ray (CR) nuclei spectra is the spectral hardening at a few hundred GV. It is important to know whether the hardening of different nuclei species is the same or not for constructing CR sources and…
