Description
Reacceleration of cosmic rays produced by galactic sources in the galactic wind flow is considered. The particles can be reaccelerated by the shocks propagating in the galactic wind flow and at the termination shock. The problem of the cosmic ray spectrum continuity is investigated. Numeric results are presented and discussed. Applications are given for an explanation of the cosmic ray spectrum beyond the 'knee'
