This is an experimental project:
This Web site is dedicated to research in astrophysics of cosmic
rays and diffuse gamma rays. It is designed to be
a communication forum between researchers in different
disciplines; it will provide computer readable tables, graphics files,
computer codes, which also can be run from a Web browser with results
instantly visible and ready to use. Examples of the computer readable
files include the evaluated nuclear cross sections, 2- and 3-dimensional gas
maps, the spatially resolved spectrum of the interstellar radiation
field, the spectrum of diffuse gamma rays for any given sky region,
spectra of any particular isotope or arbitrary combination of isotopes
or elements in the requested units and scale, arbitrary isotopic
ratios, isotopic abundances, as well as antiproton, electron, and
positron spectra and ratios in any arbitrary point in the Galaxy.
We intend to work in close contact with experts in
heliospheric modulation to provide a user-friendly interface
to their modern codes, and to make them available for the
scientific community.
Systematic work on evaluation of the codes and data posted
on the Web-site, cross tests of different propagation models
and approaches, should make the calculations of propagation
in the interstellar space and in the heliosphere more reliable.
The information
will be evaluated, compared with other sources, and updated on a
regular basis. Additionally, the Web site will post new ideas and
requests stimulating studies in desired areas.
