Scientific paper

A study is conducted of the secondary 100-MeV region gamma rays that are generated by the interaction of cosmic rays with the interstellar medium. Evidence is obtained from satellite data, and from novel results for the interstellar medium's gas distribution, for the enhancement of electron and proton intensity in the Loop I SNR. A straightforward explanation of the origin of most of the low energy cosmic radiation follows from this evidence. It is noted that the conversion efficiency of supernova energy into cosmic ray protons is very high.
