Description

We calculate the production and re-acceleration of secondary nuclei in supernova remnants using a time-dependent treatment of the acceleration process. The obtained spectra are compared to results of other recent calculations. The predictions for the energy-dependence of B/C and Ti/Fe ratios are presented and the implications for cosmic ray propagation models are discussed.
