Physical State of the Birth Place of Cosmic Rays and its Implication to the Acceleration Processes
Abstract
To explain the observed chemical composition of galactic cosmic rays at their sources, it is suggested that this composition is the result of an acceleration mechanism, possibly related to the charge states of particles ambient in the source regions. Since it is likely that most of the particles are partially ionized in these regions, the ambient temperature there will be less than 100,000 K before the start of acceleration.
