Scientific paper

The escape of cosmic rays from the Galaxy at rigidities above and below 10 GV/c is investigated theoretically using a model with a diffusion coefficient of (1-10) x 10 to the 26th sq cm/sec (at 10 GV/c) and various values of the exponent delta. Some numerical results are presented in graphs, and it is found that at low energies the source nearest to the earth is at a distance of 100-300 pc, while the higher-energy diffusion length is 1-10 kpc (assuming in both cases that the diffusive medium is homogeneous and has a characteristic size greater than the respective lengths). For the case of a smaller storage volume, the lifetime to reach the boundary is inversely proportional to kappa.
