Description

The energy distribution of the primary cosmic rays (excluding the effects of propagation) is derived on the basis of a simple theoretical model of a random walk in random electromagnetic fields. It is expected that this mechanism is universal in the sense that it can be embedded in various astrophysical acceleration processes. (author)
