TY - JOUR A1 - Eichler, David A1 - Kumar, Rahul A1 - Pohl, Martin T1 - Is the galatic cosmic-ray spectrum constant in time? T2 - The astrophysical journal : an international review of spectroscopy and astronomical physics N2 - The hypothesis is considered that the present, local Galactic cosmic-ray spectrum is, due to source intermittency, softer than average over time and over the Galaxy. Measurements of muogenic nuclides underground could provide an independent measurement of the time-averaged spectrum. Source intermittency could also account for the surprising low anisotropy reported by the IceCube Collaboration. Predictions for Galactic emission of ultrahigh-energy (UHE) quanta, such as UHE gamma rays and neutrinos, might be higher or lower than previously estimated.
