Interpreting the Knee of Cosmic Rays near 10 TV as the Contribution from a Close Source

The inhomogeneity of the spectrum of cosmic rays in the region of 10 TV (small knee), observed in the data of direct experiments of cosmic rays, is considered in terms of isotropic diffusion from a single close source. It is shown that such a description is possible. The area of possible space-time...

Description
Summary:The inhomogeneity of the spectrum of cosmic rays in the region of 10 TV (small knee), observed in the data of direct experiments of cosmic rays, is considered in terms of isotropic diffusion from a single close source. It is shown that such a description is possible. The area of possible space-time localization of the source and its energetics are determined.
