Precise measurement of the cosmic-ray spectrum and left langle ln A right rangle by LHAASO -- connecting the Galactic to the extragalactic components
read the original abstract
Recently LHAASO Collaboration gives precise measurements of cosmic rays (CR) all particle energy spectrum and mean logarithmic mass $\left \langle \ln A \right \rangle$ from 0.3 PeV to 30 PeV. Combining the CR measurements by AMS-02 and DAMPE in space and that by LHAASO and Auger on the ground we construct a model to recover all these measurements from tens of GeV to tens of EeV. We find the LHAASO measurement is crucial in the model construction by connecting the Galactic component to the extragalactic component. The precise measurements of CR spectra for individual species by AMS-02 and DAMPE together with the newest LHAASO results clearly indicates three Galactic CR components, that is, a soft low energy background, a hard high energy component, and a local source contribution. However, the LHAASO data show that above $\sim 10^{16}$ eV a nonnegligible extragalactic component must be included. Combining the Auger results and the LHAASO results we figure out the extragalactic CRs which need at least two components at lower and higher energies. Thanks to the precise measurements by LHAASO the constraints on the model parameters are quite stringent. The spectra features and mass measurements in all energy range are all well reproduced in the model.

Uncertainty in Hadronic Diffuse $\gamma$-Ray Emission from the Temporal Stochasticity of Cosmic-Ray Sources
Temporal stochasticity of cosmic-ray sources causes a normalization uncertainty in the local proton flux that propagates into a hadronic gamma-ray uncertainty of 30-100%, comparable to or exceeding experimental errors...

Implication of multiple source populations of Galactic cosmic rays from proton and helium spectra
The proton and helium spectra from 1 GeV to 10 PeV can be reproduced only by adding two local sources or a second background population on top of the standard cosmic-ray background.
