It is shown that the theory fits these data in a satisfactory way and provides the strong evidences for the efficient CR production in SNRs accompanied by significant magnetic field amplification. Magnetic field amplification leads to considerable increase of CR maximum energy so that the spectrum of CRs accelerated in SNRs is consistent with the requirements for the formation of Galactic CR spectrum up to the energy ~10^17 eV.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-09-04T02:43:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cosmic ray acceleration", "supernova shocks", "significant magnetic field amplification", "nonlinear kinetic theory", "efficient cr production" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Advances in Space Research", "year": 2008, "volume": 41, "number": 3, "pages": 429 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 782859, "adsabs": "2008AdSpR..41..429B" } } }
