Cosmic Rays

"We contend that we have identified the acceleration mechanism promoting the constituents of the interstellar medium of our Galaxy and others to become the bulk of the cosmic rays of all energies, and the 'magnetic-racket' accelerators themselves: the cannon balls emmited by ordinary core-collapse supernovae."

Thus ends the article by Arnon Dar and Álvaro de Rújula.

The authors claim that all Cosmic Rays observed so far can be understood with their cannon ball magnetic-racket model.

If true, this is a big accomplishment. The Auger Detector, half of which is already in Argentina, and the other half soon to be build in the United States of America, should have no problem in verifying this theory.
