On gamma rays from supernovae and some consequences on cosmic-ray theories

  • 1. CNR, Bologna (Italy)
  • 2. Istituto di Fisica Cosmica, Milano (Italy)

Description

A review of the rather optimistic predictions made in the past concerning the emission of gamma-rays from supernovae is presented. New confirmation is offered here for the hypotheses that: 1- supernovae are the main source of cosmic rays; 2- pulsars are not the most important accelerators of cosmic rays; 3- the total cosmic ray energy exceedes the total electron energy by a factor of about 100
