摘要

Recent observations by the ATIC-2, CREAM and PAMELA experiments suggest that the spectrum of cosmic-ray(CR) helium is harder than that of CR protons below the knee energy and all CR spectra become hard at 100GeVucleon. According to DSA theory, the spectrum of accelerated particles at a shock does not depend on CR el-ements,but depends only on the velocity profile of the shock. Thus, naively, recent CR observations seem to show thatthe acceleration site of CR helium is different from that of CR protons. We propose a new idea, that higher energy CRsare generated in a more helium-rich region, to explain the hardening without introducing different sources for CR helium.We argue that CRs are produced in a chemically enriched region, such as a superbubble, and the outward-decreasingabundance naturally leads to the hard spectrum of CR helium if CRs escape from the supernova remnant shock in anenergy-dependent way. Our idea uses the fact that CRs escaping from SNRs generally have a different spectrum thanthose of the acceleration site. The runaway CR spectrum depends not only on the acceleration spectrum at shocks but alsoon the evolution of the maximum energy and the number of accelerated CRs. We also suggest that the spectral hardeningof CRs is caused by the decreasing Mach number in the high-temperature medium. Both the inhomogeneous abundanceand the high temperature can be realized in the hot superbubbles with multiple supernovae.
