Description
This year we celebrate the hundred years anniversary of the
discovery of Cosmic Rays (CRs) by Viktor Hess. Several aspects of
the problem have been understood and several others appear to be
still unclear and in some other cases the traditional view seems to
be challenged by recent observations. I will summarize here some of
the successes and problems of the theories of CR acceleration and
propagation, in the light of recent measurement of energy spectrum
and composition as well as gamma ray observations from Earth and
Space.
