    Abstract:
    'Origin of cosmic rays (CRs) is still not known. In this work we argue that PeV cosmic rays can be accelerated during the early phase of a supernova blast wave expansion in dense red supergiant winds. We solve in spherical geometry a system combining a diffusive-convection equation which treats CR dynamics coupled to magnetohydrodynamics to follow gas dynamics. The fast shock expanding in a dense ionized wind is able to trigger the fast non-resonant streaming instability over day timescales. We investigate the maximum energy CRs can reach in this configuration accounting for pp losses. Multi-PeV energies can be reached if the progenitor mass loss rates are of the order of, or larger than, $10^{-3}$ solar masses/year. It has been recently invoked that prior to the explosion hydrogen rich massive stars can produce enhanced mass loss rates. These enhanced rates would then favor the production of a Pevatron phase in early times after the shock breakout. We discuss observational tests to probe our model using future radio and gamma-ray facilities.'
