Abstract
In regions shielded from ultraviolet radiation, energetic charged particles, called cosmic rays, are the dominant drivers of ionization, dissociation, and excitation. This chapter discusses the basics of cosmic-ray transport and acceleration, their impact on the thermochemistry of molecular gas, and methods to include cosmic-ray processes into astrochemical models.
