Scientific paper

Evidence is presented for an excess of cosmic ray intensity within the Loop I supernova remnant, based on an interpretation of the observed distribution of γ-rays across the remnant and the column densities of the associated gas. A strong case can thus be made for the bulk of the cosmic radiation (E < 1011eV) being produced in the Galactic supernova remnants.
