1. Introduction - CR spectrum, origin of CRs, etc.
→Power law spectrum ~ E -2.7 (<3×10 15 eV) ~ E -3.0 (3×10 15 ー eV) →Spectral break around eV (refered to as the ‘knee’) CR all particle spectrum ∝ E -2.7 ∝ E -3 3×10 15 eV SNR origin unknown knee Total Energy E (eV/particle) [Differetial Flux (m -2 s -1 sr -1 (GeV/particle) -1 ) ]×E 2.5

2. Galactic modulation of extragalactic CRs - Motivation - Simulation method and Results
If nuclear components with energy up to eV also exist in the inter-galactic space including around our galaxy, ○ recent observational results from ICM -Possible existence of V.H.E. CRs in IGS - →Existence of L.E. CR electron EUV and hard X-ray emissions from ICM (Ensslin et al. 1999) Isotropic extragalactic γ-ray background (Loeb & Waxman 2000) these components modulated by the galactic wind should be directly observable !!! Motivation → We numerically examine such a possibility.

∝ E -3 ・ magnetic field: ・ radial distance of the galactic sphere: ・ speed of the galactic wind: Galactic modulated spectra of protons at Earth (r = 8.5 kpc) (Zirakashvili et al. 1996) → The spectrum breaks around the knee energy. → If eta increased by some factor, the break point is shifted to lower energy by the same factor. (Zirakashvili et al. 1996)
(ex)η=1000 Modulated spectra of various nuclear components → The break point of the nuclear components is shifted to higher energy by a factor of Z compared with that for protons. ∝ E -3
Break point in the modulated spectrum of the hypothetical extragalactic CRs →The resultant modulated spectrum depends on five parameters, η, Z, R, V, and B. →If we difine the breaking energy E break as the energy at which the modulated spectrum becomes maximal, then… ∝ E -3
3. A model of the all-particle spectrum near the knee region

E max =500TeV Energy spectra obtained using direct measurements and the fitted curves → We define the sum of these components as the SNR component, F SNR. (ex)
F Modul (E) = f Modul (E) proton (ex1) ∝ E -3 Single-component model for F modul (E ) → We can replace f Modul with another nuclear component, f Modul. F Modul (E) = f Modul (E) Fe proton Z (ex2) →Our model can reproduces the observed spectrum around the knee fairly well !
∝ E -3 Composite model for F modul (E ) (ex3) F Modul = f Modul + f Modul + f Modul + f Modul + f Modul Fe protonHe CNO NeMgSi →we can also reproduce the spectrum using the model with a composite hypothetical CRs

4. Discussion - Energetics of hypothetical extragalactic CRs - Possible origin
If the hypothetical CRs pervade the intergalactic space uniformly and the spectrum extends down to their rest mass energy ( ), ( ~ ) Corresponding density parameter Upper limit (Burles et al. 2001) →CRs contribute to Dark Matter ?? →The spectrum becomes harder in the energy lower than the knee? →CRs are confined in local regions? ★ Energetics of the hypothetical CRs hypothetical extragalactic CRs ∝ E -3
Lower limit →much small ! If the hypothetical CR spectrum becomes harder with the index of 2 in the energy range lower than 10^14.5 eV, … hypothetical extragalactic CRs ∝ E -3 ∝ E eV

Shock acceleration in large-scale structure formation ? →existence of shock accelerated extragalactic CRs →relation between extragalactic CRs and CRs above the knee In the future TeV γ-ray observation from cluster merger ★ Possible origin of hypothetical extragalactic CRs
GCRs of SNR origion and, the extragalactic CRs modulated by the galactic wind. The position of “the knee” may give us ideas on the structure of the galactic sphere (its size, the speed of the galactic wind, and etc. ‥‥ etc.). Future observations of CRs above the knee region will tell us the chemical composition of the extragalactic CRs. Simulation experiments in more realistic setting for galactic structure are needed. 5. Conclusion All-particle spectrum of CRs around “the knee” region is reproduced well by a superposition of the two components,
