On the Cosmic Ray Sources ()
Abstract
The
cosmic ray energy spectrum is calculated assuming that cosmic rays are
generated by astrophysical objects provided by magnetospheres with a dipole
magnetic field. With simple geometric considerations, the energy spectrum E-2.5 is obtained, independently on the particle
species.
