Derives series solution for two-zone cosmic-ray diffusion and finds local-source probability at 10 TeV rises from 0.4% to 1.7-2.2% but remains model-dependent.
Simulations show that drift dominance over diffusion can create a knee at PeV energies if parallel diffusion becomes energy-independent above 1 TeV, though some setups fail to match observed grammage.
