A critical review of the standard paradigm for the origin of Galactic cosmic rays is presented. Recent measurements of local and far-away cosmic rays reveal unexpected behaviours, which challenge the commonly accepted scenario. These recent findings are discussed, together with long-standing open issues. Despite the progress made thanks to ever-improving observational techniques and theoretical investigations, at present our understanding of the origin and of the behaviour of cosmic rays remains incomplete. We believe it is still unclear whether a modification of the standard paradigm, or rather a radical change of the paradigm itself is needed in order to interpret all the available data on cosmic rays within a self-consistent scenario.

  1. Cosmic ray heating of cold streams: Implications for the gas supply and growth of massive galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Externally entrained cosmic-web CRs weakly heat dense cold-stream cores but can strongly heat diffuse and mixed interface gas in massive haloes, adding selectivity to cold accretion.

  2. Sub-sonic compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence I. Alfv\'enic and fast-magnetosonic injection, amplitude dependence, and compressibility effects

    physics.plasm-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In decaying sub-sonic MHD turbulence simulations, the amplitude and plasma beta, not the injection wave type, set the turbulent density fluctuation level, while curvature and mirror statistics change dramatically with...

  3. Superdiffusion of cosmic rays in the vicinity of their accelerators and the resulting $\gamma$-ray emission

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    Superdiffusion produces constant or r^{α-3} CR radial profiles near sources; the associated γ-ray morphology can distinguish it from normal diffusion with IACTs.

  4. Molecular clouds constraints on sub-GeV DM and asteroid-mass PBHs

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Molecular-cloud ionization yields competitive constraints on sub-GeV dark matter annihilation/decay and on asteroid-mass primordial black holes, particularly for PBHs above 10^16 g.

  5. CRESCENDO II: Spectral cosmic rays with improved energy losses and realistic supernova seeding

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    CRESCENDO's spectral cosmic-ray solver now includes improved energy-loss processes, non-ultra-relativistic energy/pressure integrals, and supernova-remnant template injection.
