We survey the theory and experimental tests for the propagation of cosmic rays in the Galaxy up to energies of 10^15 eV. A guide to the previous reviews and essential literature is given, followed by an exposition of basic principles. The basic ideas of cosmic-ray propagation are described, and the physical origin of its processes are explained. The various techniques for computing the observational consequences of the theory are described and contrasted. These include analytical and numerical techniques. We present the comparison of models with data including direct and indirect - especially gamma-ray - observations, and indicate what we can learn about cosmic-ray propagation. Some particular important topics including electrons and antiparticles are chosen for discussion.

  1. Charge-dependent spectral softenings of primary cosmic-rays below the knee

    astro-ph.HE 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Direct measurements reveal charge-dependent spectral softenings in primary cosmic rays at a common rigidity of ~15 TV, rejecting mass-dependent softening at >99.999% confidence.

  2. PeV particle acceleration and non-thermal emission in the `minimalist' model of the extended jets in W50/SS433

    astro-ph.GA 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A model of SS433/W50's extended jets with diffusive shock acceleration reproduces X-ray spectra, gamma-ray emission, and >20% X-ray polarization, with >10% of jet power going into PeV protons.

  3. Uncertainty in Hadronic Diffuse $\gamma$-Ray Emission from the Temporal Stochasticity of Cosmic-Ray Sources

    astro-ph.HE 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Temporal stochasticity of cosmic-ray sources causes a normalization uncertainty in the local proton flux that propagates into a hadronic gamma-ray uncertainty of 30-100%, comparable to or exceeding experimental errors...

  4. Hybrid Simulations of Proton Acceleration at Oblique High-$\beta$ Shocks

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

    Weak quasi-perpendicular high-β ICM shocks accelerate protons inefficiently (ε_CR ≲ 0.1%), while Ms ≳ 10 or ϑ ≲ 45° shocks reach a few percent with steep spectra.

  5. SN 1006: A Cosmic Laboratory for Investigating Shock Acceleration Physics

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A self-consistent multi-zone kinetic model reproduces SN 1006's spectrum and morphology, finding ~20% CR acceleration efficiency in quasi-parallel shocks, <1% in quasi-perpendicular shocks, and predominantly leptonic ...

  6. Constraints on Primordial Black Holes from Galactic Diffuse Synchrotron Emissions

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Galactic synchrotron emissions above 20 MHz can set tighter upper limits on the abundance of primordial black holes with masses above 10^16 grams than previous cosmic-ray electron data.

  7. Probing Low-Luminosity Gamma-Ray Emission from SNR G296.5+10.0 and CCO 1E 1207.4-5209 with CTAO

    astro-ph.HE 2023-11 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Numerical modeling with GALPROP predicts CTAO detectability of gamma rays from SNR G296.5+10.0 and CCO 1E 1207.4-5209 at 5 sigma after 50 hours, with hadronic processes dominating at lower energies and leptonic at higher.
