On the acceleration of cosmic rays
Description
The intensive acceleration of energetic charged particles in perpendicular shock waves which has been known to take place in the interplanetary medium has been utilized in this work in order to account for the energization of cosmic rays. It is proposed that cosmic rays can be accelerated up to 1014-1015eV in successive perpendicular shock waves which appear inside supernova shells in our Galaxy. (Auth.)
