Voyager 1 has entered regions of different propagation conditions for energetic cosmic rays in the outer heliosheath beginning at a distance of about 111 AU from the Sun. This conclusion is based on the fact that the low energy 6-14 MeV…
The AMS-02 has measured the cosmic ray electron (plus positron) spectrum up to ~TeV with an unprecedent precision. The spectrum can be well described by a power law without any obvious features above 10 GeV. The satellite instrument Dark…
The origin of Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) remains a mystery after more than one century of their discovery. The diffusive propagation of charged particles in the turbulent Galactic magnetic field makes us unable to trace back to their…
