Motivated by the possibility that cosmic rays (CR) originate from supernova remnants, we ask ourselves what we learn on CR and Ξ½ produced in these systems from the emitted very high energy (VHE) Ξ³ radiation. We answer to this question in a simple, accurate and model-independent way.
Cosmic rays up to at least 10 15 eV (PeV) are believed to be emitted by Galactic sources, such as supernova remnants. However, no conclusive evidence of their acceleration has been found yet. A trace of ongoing cosmic-ray acceleration is the gamma-ray emission produced by these highly energetic part
