Models of diffusion of galactic Cosmic Rays from Super-bubbles

Super-bubbles are shells in the interstellar medium produced by the simultaneous explosions of many supernova remnants. The solutions of the mathematical diffusion and of the Fourier expansion in 1D, 2D and 3D were deduced in order to describe the diffusion of nucleons from such structures. The mean number of visits in the the case of the Levy flights in 1D was computed with a Monte Carlo simulation. The diffusion of cosmic rays has its physical explanation in the relativistic Larmor gyro-radius which is energy dependent. The mathematical solution of the diffusion equation in 1D with variable diffusion coefficient was computed. Variable diffusion coefficient means magnetic field variable with the altitude from the Galactic plane. The analytical solutions allow us to calibrate the code that describes the Monte Carlo diffusion. The maximum energy that can be extracted from the super-bubbles is deduced. The concentration of cosmic rays is a function of the distance from the nearest super-bubble and the selected energy. The interaction of the cosmic rays on the target material allows us to trace the theoretical map of the diffuse Galactic continuum gamma-rays. The streaming of the cosmic rays from the Gould Belts that contains the sun at it's internal was described by a Monte Carlo simulation. Nine new formulas are derived.
