Beschreibung
This book addresses three “hot” topics concerning the general problem of the origin of Galactic cosmic rays, namely (1) the acceleration, propagation, and radiation of particles in supernova remnants; (2) very high energy neutrinos from the Galactic Center; and (3) the potential held by the next-generation gamma-ray and neutrino detectors CTA and KM3NeT for studying extended non-thermal sources in the Galaxy. The topics are intrinsically connected to determining the nature (“hadronic or leptonic?”) of gamma-ray emissions from young and middle-aged supernova remnants and the search for cosmic-ray PeVatrons. The results and conclusions provided here are based on extensive analytical and numerical simulations, which are formulated and presented in a straightforward format that can be readily used in the interpretations of gamma-ray and neutrino observations, as well as for confident predictions for future measurements.

Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Gran Sasso Science Institute, L’Aquila, Italy Provides a comprehensive review of the search for Galactic cosmic-ray sources Presents technical descriptions of numerical and analytical methods for the solution of partial differential equations (in particular for the convective–diffusive particle transport and magnetohydrodynamic equations)
