Abstract
The gluon condensation (GC)-effects in high energy cosmic rays are investigated. After a brief review of the GC, several examples including gamma-, electron- and positron-spectra in a broad GeV ? TeV region can be explained by the GC-effects. We find that the GC may break the power-law of the cosmic ray spectra if the energy of accelerated protons exceeds the GC-threshold. The GC is a new phenomenon that is not yet known, it provides a new window to understand the high energy cosmic ray spectra.
