摘要
This review summarizes recent developments in the understanding of high-energy cosmic rays. It focuses on galactic and presumably extragalactic particles in the energy range from the knee (1015 eV ) up to the highest energies observed (> 1020 eV). Emphasis is put on observational results, their interpretation, and the global picture of cosmic rays that has emerged during the last decade. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
