Primaries (e.g., 1H, 4He, C) µ source/diffusion µ R-(α+δ) Secondaries (e.g., 2H, 3He, B) µ primary/diffusion µ R-(α+2δ) → Secondary to primary ratio (e.g., B/C) µ R-δ Need to produce α>2! [see, e.g., Amato's review, IJMD 23, 130013 (2013)] Theory: α~2 (DSA), δ~1/3 or 0.5 (turbulence cascade) Observation: α+δ~2.8 → CR nuclei originate from a large volume (for sources) → Below a few GeV/n, heavy CRs depleted/closer w.r.t. light ones
