Particle Spectra and Mass Composition in the Ultra-High Energy Region in the Framework of the Galactic Origin of Cosmic Rays
The possibility for a self-consistent description of all the basic features
of the observed cosmic ray spectra and primary composition variations in the
energy range of eV within the Galactic origin scenario is
examined.
We assume the existence of Galactic sources that accelerate particles up to
eV and take into account a highly inhomogeneous
(fractal-like) distribution of matter and magnetic fields in the Galaxy that
leads to extremely large free paths of particles ("L\'{e}vy flights"), along
with an overwhelming contribution to the cosmic ray fluxes observed above eV from particles reaching the Solar System without scattering. Our
scenario was refined on the basis of recent experimental results on primary
mass composition. Model predictions, which could be verified with the improved
high-precision measurements in the nearest future are discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, 19th International Symposium on Very High Energy

TAIGA -- an advanced hybrid detector complex for astroparticle physics and high energy gamma-ray astronomy
The physical motivations, present status, main results in study of cosmic
rays and in the field of gamma-ray astronomy as well future plans of the
TAIGA-1 (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma Astronomy)
project are presented. The TAIGA observatory addresses ground-based gamma-ray
astronomy and astroparticle physics at energies from a few TeV to several PeV,
as well as cosmic ray physics from 100 TeV to several EeV. The pilot TAIGA-1
complex is located in the Tunka valley, ~50 km west from the southern tip of
the lake Baikal.Comment: Submission to SciPost Phys. Proc., 10 pages, 2 figure
Primary Cosmic Rays Energy Spectrum and Mean Mass Composition by the Data of the TAIGA Astrophysical Complex
The corrected dependence of the mean depth of the EAS maximum on
the energy was obtained from the data of the Tunka-133 array for 7 years and
the TAIGA-HiSCORE array for 2 year. The parameter ,
characterizing the mean mass compositon was derived from these results. The
differential energy spectrum of primary cosmic rays in the energy range of
- \,eV was reconstructed using the new
parameter the Cherenkov light flux at the core distance 100 m.}Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, Submitted to SciPost Phys.Pro
