Abstract

The origin of cosmic rays (CR) stays an open-ended question for over a hundred years. However, during the past decade, a wide range of new experimental data and theoretical models was brought into the light. In this work we briefly review basic mechanisms of generation of high energy cosmic rays, including exotic ones.

Notes

  1. That is the type of models where particles are born with already high energy, as opposed to ‘‘bottom-up’’ models, in which particles obtain energy due to some acceleration mechanism.
