Table 1

Physical parameter values used in this 3D model of CR injection and propagation in the GC.

Model parameters Values
Proton spectral index 2
Emax of the injected proton spectrum 1 PeV
Box size 500 pc×500 pc×50 pc
Total gas mass 4 × 107 M
D0 (10 TeV) 2 × 1029 cm2 s−1
Spectral index of the diffusion coefficient (d) 0.3
ESN 1051 erg
SN recurrence time 2500 yr
Escape time after the SN explosion at 1 TeV 6000 yr
Escape time after the SN explosion at 10 TeV 2500 yr

Notes. These values are the same as in Jouvin et al. (2017), except for the CR escape time that had been added to the initial model.
