Primary proton spectrum above 1 TeV and the problem of cosmic-ray origin

  • 1. Skobeltsyn Inst. of Nucl. Phys., Moscow State Univ. (Russian Federation)

Description

The data of SOKOL, JACEE and MUBEE experiments are used to compare energy spectra of cosmic-ray protons and other nuclei. It is shown that the standard model with invariable chemical composition does not explain the experimental data above several TeV. The assumption that the cosmic-ray spectrum consists of two components of different origin and different nucleus composition is discussed. (author). Letter-to-the-editor
