Scientific paper

Accelerated protons can escape from a dense supernova envelope surrounding a young pulsar if nuclear collisions convert them into neutrons, which then will not be confined by the magnetic fields. If a supernova were to explode in the Galaxy, the flux of neutrons emanating from its envelope at energies in excess of 10 to the 18th power could be detected by means of extensive air showers.
