Cosmic rays do not stream freely through the galaxy, contrary to earlier expectations. Streaming cosmic rays are slowed down by the emission of resonant Alfven waves that scatter the cosmic rays. The theory of self-confinement explains the isotropy of the bulk of the cosmic rays but not of cosmic rays above 103 Gev; it has been a stimulus to the theory for cosmic-ray acceleration at supernova shocks; and, on inclusion of diffusion in a galactic wind, it may explain the uniform cosmic-ray density out to 18 kpc in our galaxy. Rapidly streaming electrons in clusters of galaxies, in supernova remnants, and near solar flares are accomodated by the theory when it is expanded to include the effects of hot plasmas and other wave modes. A “resonance gap” may prevent the turning backwards of streaming particles and thus allow streaming near the particle speed.

The two main aspects of supernova remnant research addressed in this review are: I. What is our understanding of the progenitors of the observed remnants, and what have we learned from these remnants about supernova nucleosynthesis? II. Supernova remnants are probably the major source of cosmic rays. What are the recent advances in the observational aspects of cosmic ray acceleration in supernova remnants?
