Scientific paper

In an earlier paper, we showed that cosmic rays (CR) might be accelerated to very high energy (<~10^15 eV) as they drift through the ordered electric and magnetic fields expected in a supernova remnant driven by a rotating pulsar. We ignored scattering by magnetic fluctuations. Here we show that strong scattering inhibits the acceleration process, but that weak scattering increases the maximum CR energy.
