Abstract
The origin of the knee in the energy spectrum of cosmic rays is one of the central questions of high-energy astrophysics. One possible explanation is the energy dependent leakage of nuclei from the Galaxy due to their propagation. The latter is investigated in a combined method using numerical calculations of trajectories and the diffusion approximation. The life time of cosmic rays in the Galaxy and the corresponding pathlength are presented. The resulting energy spectra as observed at Earth are discussed and compared to experimental data.
