# The self-control of Cosmic Rays

## TL;DR

This paper explores how cosmic rays may influence their own transport processes across different scales, emphasizing theoretical implications and potential observational evidence from future experiments.

## Contribution

It introduces the concept that cosmic rays can regulate their own propagation, highlighting the need for new theoretical models and observational strategies.

## Key findings

- Cosmic rays potentially control their own transport mechanisms.
- Implications for theoretical models of cosmic ray propagation.
- Suggestions for observational evidence with upcoming experiments.

## Abstract

Several independent pieces of information have recently hinted at a prominent role of cosmic rays in controlling their own transport, within and around the sources as well as throughout their propagation on Galactic scales and even possibly during their escape from the Galaxy. I will discuss this topic with special attention to the theoretical implications and possible additional observational evidence that we may seek with upcoming experiments.
