The knee in the cosmic ray energy spectrum
A.D. Erlykin, A.W. Wolfendale
TL;DR
This paper reviews the current understanding of the cosmic ray energy spectrum's knee at 3-4 PeV, emphasizing stronger evidence for a single source responsible for this feature.
Contribution
It provides an updated analysis supporting the hypothesis of a single source causing the knee in the cosmic ray spectrum.
Findings
Enhanced evidence for a single source at the knee energy
Updated status of cosmic ray spectrum features
Implications for cosmic ray origin models
Abstract
An update of the status of the knee in the cosmic ray energy spectrum at 3-4 PeV is presented. We argue that the evidence in favour of the presence of a 'single source' is even stronger than before.
