Workshop: Source Models of Galactic Cosmic Rays
Cosmic rays are high-energy particles moving as speed of light. Detailed differences in their abundances can tell us about cosmic ray sources and their trip through the galaxy.
Join us for an engaging mini-workshop exploring the origin and propagation of Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). This event will bring together experts and researchers to discuss observational constraints, theoretical models, and open questions in the field.
