Big simulation itself is not adequate big numerical simulations fit results due to the existence of "knobs" of free parameters (see, e.g., http://galprop.stanford.e du/). http://galprop.stanford.e du Self-consistent picture can be only achieved on the basis of theory with solid theoretical foundations and numerically tested.

Compressible Turbulence dominates CR scattering Scattering frequency (Kolmogorov ) Alfven modes Big difference!!! (Chandran 2000) The often adopted Alfven modes are useless.

CR Transport varies from place to place! Flat dependence of mean free path can occur due to collisionless damping ( Yan & Lazarian 2008 ). CR Transport in ISM Mean free path (pc) Kinetic energy halo WIM Text from Bieber et al 1994 Palmer consensus

Gyroresonance Instability Turbulence compression Scattering by instability generated slab wave A β ≝ Pgas/P mag < 1, fast modes ( isotropic cascade +anisotropic damping ) β > 1 slow modes ( GS95 ) Wave Growth is limited by Nonlinear Suppression!
8
Scattering by growing waves Anisotropy cannot reach δv/v A, the value predicted earlier ( Lazarian & Beresnyak 2006 ), and the actual growth is slower and smaller amplitude due to nonlinear suppression ( Yan &Lazarian 2011 ). By balancing it with the rate of increase due to turbulence compression, we can get Bottle-neck of growth due to energy constraint: Simple estimates:

Acceleration is limited by the wave growth at the shock front for MHD turbulence with k ⊥ >> k ||
13
maximum energy at a give epoch Maximum energy accelerated at a given shock radius is higher than the case when the background turbulence is assumed isotropic.

Accelerated CR flux and γ ray emission D<<D ISM
15
Result is self-consistent! Steaming instability due to increased CR flux is sufficient to overcome the damping by turbulence.

SummarySummary Compression by large scale turbulence results in anisotropic distribution of CRs, which induces gyroresonance instability. The growth of the instability is balanced by the feedback of the slab waves on the anisotropy of CRs. Small scale slab waves are generated in compressible turbulence by gyroresonance instability, dominating the scattering of low energy CRs (<100GeV). Feedback of CRs on turbulence should be included in future turbulence simulations. The flux of CRs near SNRs is increased enough to create strong streaming instability that can overcome the damping by background turbulence for the energy range considered. The enhanced scattering by the instability is enough to reproduce the observed gamma ray flux from molecular clouds. at the proximity of SNR. The enhanced scattering by the instability is enough to reproduce the observed gamma ray flux from molecular clouds. at the proximity of SNR. \item The enhanced scattering by the instability is enough to reproduce the observed gamma ray flux from molecular clouds at the proximity of SNR. The interaction of streaming instability and background turbulence determines the maximum energy of accelerated particles. For perpendicular transport: Perpendicular transport
