Micromirror confinement of sub-TeV cosmic rays in galaxy clusters — •Patrick Reichherzer1, Archie F. A. Bott1, Robert J. Ewart1, Gianluca Gregori1, Philipp Kempski2, Matthew W. Kunz2, and Alexander A. Schekochihin11University of Oxford, UK — 2Princeton University, US

Recent observations reveal that cosmic rays (CRs) are more tightly confined in various astrophysical systems than current theories predict. We propose that microscale magnetic fluctuations, particularly from the mirror instability, significantly influence CR transport. Our theory is supported by simulations of CRs in the intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters. Our results indicate that sub-TeV CR confinement in the ICM is much more efficient than previously thought based on extrapolating existing Galactic-transport theories.
