We present convenient formulae for the energy losses of energetic atomic nuclei over the entire energy range relevant to the physics of cosmic rays. Results are applied to a leaky-box equation with a complete loss term. Thereby we derive the equilibrium spectrum of cosmic rays in various types of galaxies. We emphasize a spectral break energy at 450 MeV independent of the matter density, resulting from the transition from Coulomb and ionization losses to pion production losses as the relevant cooling process for the cosmic ray nuclei . We comment on the possible cosmic ray origin of the cosmic gamma ray background.

Cosmic ray heating of cold streams: Implications for the gas supply and growth of massive galaxies
Externally entrained cosmic-web CRs weakly heat dense cold-stream cores but can strongly heat diffuse and mixed interface gas in massive haloes, adding selectivity to cold accretion.

Refined anti-proton and anti-deuteron fluxes from weak-scale Dark Matter
Updated tabulated interstellar fluxes of antiprotons and antideuterons from weak-scale DM are provided using new propagation schemes and inelastic cross-sections, showing greater robustness than prior calculations.

The Effects of Cosmic Ray Protons on Galactic Nonthermal Filaments
MHD simulations of proton- versus lepton-dominated cosmic rays in nonthermal filaments show minimal observable differences and motivate a turbulence-based formation scenario for Galactic Center NTFs.
