Searching for galactic cosmic ray pevatrons with multi-TeV gamma rays and neutrinos

Gabici, Stefano, Aharonian, Felix A.

Understand

The recent HESS detections of supernova remnant shells in TeV gamma-rays confirm the theoretical predictions that supernova remnants can operate as powerful cosmic ray accelerators.

If these objects are responsible for the bulk of galactic cosmic rays, then they should accelerate protons and nuclei to 10^15 eV and beyond, i.e.
act as cosmic PeVatrons.
The model of diffusive shock acceleration allows, under certain conditions, acceleration of particles to such high energies and their gradual injection into the interstellar medium, mainly during the Sedov phase of the remnant evolution.
