Gamma-ray astronomy and the origin of cosmic rays
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6508224
New surveys of galactic gamma ray emission together with millimeter wave radio surveys indicated that cosmic rays were produced as the result of supernova explosions in our galaxy, with the most intense production occurring in a Great Galactic Ring, about 35,000 light years in diameter, where supernova remnants and pulsars were concentrated.
