Diffuse Galactic Gamma Rays from Shock-Accelerated Cosmic Rays
Diffuse Galactic Gamma Rays from Shock-Accelerated Cosmic Rays is a scholarly work, published in 2012 in ''Physical Review Letters''. The main subjects of the publication include astrophysics, astronomy, cosmic radiation, ultra-high-energy cosmic ray, Cosmic ray spallation, physics, high-energy astronomy, dark matter, nuclear physics, gamma-ray burst, gamma ray, and Shock waves in astrophysics. A shock-accelerated particle flux is proportional to p(-s), where p is the particle momentum, follows from simple theoretical considerations of cosmic-ray acceleration at nonrelativistic shocks followed by rigidity-dependent escape into the Galactic halo.
