Cosmic ray spectral hardening ...possible explanations ...data break in the CR diffusion Proton and He spectra (and coefficient heavier) the effect of a nearby source ∼ 200 − 300 GeV NLDSA: concavity and ∆ γ ∼ 0 . 1 − 0 . 2 reverse shocks ATIC-2, PAMELA, CREAM, distinct populations of CR AMS-02 sources S.
