Description

Based on the cosmic rays acceleration in the young supernova remnant like environment, electron and positron pair production through the interactions between high energy cosmic rays and radiation background photons is studied. It is found that both the electron/positron excesses and the knee structure of the cosmic ray spectra can be explained with one set of the source parameters.
