This book presents a study of the young supernova remnant RX
J1713.7-3946 in order to reveal the origin of cosmic rays in our
galaxy. The study focuses on the X-ray and gamma radiation from the
cosmic ray electrons and protons in the supernova remnant as well
as the emission from the surrounding interstellar gas measured by
the NANTEN2 4-m radio telescope at Nagoya University. The gamma
rays show a good spatial correspondence with the interstellar gas,
which for the first time provides strong evidence of the
acceleration of cosmic ray protons. Additionally, the author
determines that an interaction between the supernova shockwaves and
interstellar gas, referred to as "shock-cloud interaction,"
promotes the efficient acceleration of cosmic ray electrons in the
supernova remnant. The book reveals that the interstellar gas plays
an essential role in producing the high-energy radiation and cosmic
rays, offering vital new insights into the origin and behavior of
galactic cosmic rays.
