Antimatter spectra from a time-dependent modeling of supernova remnants
Creators
Description
We calculate the energy spectra of cosmic rays (CR) and their secondaries produced in a supernova remnant (SNR), taking into account the time-dependence of the SNR shock. We model the trajectories of charged particles as a random walk with a prescribed diffusion coefficient, accelerating the particles at each shock crossing. Secondary production by CRs colliding with gas is included as a Monte Carlo process. We find that SNRs produce less antimatter than suggested previously: The positron/electron ratio Fe+ Fe++e- and the antiproton/proton ratio F p-bar /Fp-bar+p are a few percent and few x10-5, respectively. Both ratios do not rise with energy.
