Cosmic-ray energy spectrum and composition up to the ankle: the case for a second Galactic component
Original language description
Motivated by the recent high-precision measurements of cosmic rays by several new-generation experiments, we have carried out a detailed study to understand the observed energy spectrum and composition of cosmic rays with energies up to about 10(18) eV. Our study shows that a single Galactic component with subsequent energy cut-offs in the individual spectra of different elements, optimised to explain the observed elemental spectra below similar to 10(14) eV and the “knee” in the all-particle spectrum, cannot explain the observed all-particle spectrum above similar to 2 x 10(16) eV.
