摘要
The recent observations revealed that the cosmic-ray (CR) proton spectrum showed a complex structure: the hardening at & SIM;200 GeV and softening at & SIM;10 TeV. However, so far, the physical origins of this spectral feature remain strongly debated. In this work, we simulate the acceleration of CR protons in a nearby supernova remnant (SNR) by solving numerically the hydrodynamic equations and the equation for the quasi-isotropic CR momentum distribution in the spherically symmetrical case to derive the spectrum of protons injected into the interstellar medium, and then simulate the propagation process of those accelerated CR particles to calculate the proton fluxes reaching the Earth. Besides, we use the DRAGON numerical code to calculate the large-scale CR proton spectrum. Our simulated results are in good agreement with the observed data (including the observed data of proton fluxes and dipole anisotropy). We conclude that the spectral feature of CR protons in this energy band may originate from the superposition of the distribution from the nearby SNR and background diffusive CR component. We find that the release of particles from this nearby SNR has a time delay. Besides, it can be found that the nonlinear response of energetic particles, the release time of CR protons, and age of the local SNR can leave strong signatures in the spectrum of the resulting CR proton fluxes.
