Description

The last decade brought spectacular advances in the astrophysics of cosmic rays and gamma-ray astronomy. These observations pose a considerable challenge to conventional astrophysics thus leaving an ample discovery space for new phenomena. Understanding the conventional astrophysical backgrounds is vital in moving to the new territory. In my talk I will discuss recent developments in astrophysics of cosmic rays and how well we understand the conventional backgrounds.
