Galactic acceleration of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays
Conference

OSTI ID:6940242
Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays are likely to originate in old galaxies because of the difficulty with acceleration in special extragalactic circumstances. An extended magnetic field in the galaxy is necessary to give sufficient time dispersion from supernova events if supernova are the origin of such particles. Acceleration must be either parallel to a magnetic field such as would occur during the initial formation of a magnetic neutron star, or formed in the relativistic supernova envelope shock.
