Description
I review the escape model for Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) that reproduce over a wide range of energies all available experimental data for individual groups of CR nuclei.
Then I discuss how the extragalactic proton component derived within this model can be explained by astrophysical sources, especially blazars. The diffuse neutrino and γ-ray fluxes produced by these CR protons interacting with gas inside their sources contribute the dominant fraction of both the isotropic γ-ray background and of the extragalactic part of the astrophysical neutrino signal observed by IceCube.
