Supernova remnants ($=$ SNR) are suggested to be sites of cosmic-ray acceleration. In particular, it has been an issue of keen interest whether cosmic ray protons are being accelerated in a SNR which emits TeV $\gamma$-rays. A crucial observational test for this is to find dense molecular gas towards the SNR, because such molecular gas can best verify the existence of cosmic-ray protons via pion d...
