This study by Toru Shibata from Aoyama Gakuin University delves into the internal consistency of cosmic ray (CR) observables, exploring potential novel sources for gamma rays (γ) and antiprotons (p). It discusses primary and secondary CR components, including heavy elements and isotopes, while analyzing uncertainties in calculations and data quality. The research compares emissions from gamma rays and antiprotons, aiming to discern whether CR data indicates unique astronomical or extragalactic origins. The findings highlight key Galactic parameters relevant to current cosmic ray data.
