Observations of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays
The status of measurements of the arrival directions, mass composition and energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 3 x 10 eV (3 EeV) is reviewed using reports presented at the 29th International Cosmic Ray Conference held in Pune, India, in August 2005.
متن کاملCosmic rays at ultra high energies (Neutrinos!)
Resonant photopion production with the cosmic microwave background predicts a suppression of extragalactic protons above the famous Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuzmin cutoff at about EGZK ≈ 5×10 10 GeV. Current cosmic ray data measured by the AGASA and HiRes Collaborations do not unambiguously confirm the GZK cutoff and leave a window for speculations about the origin and chemical composition of the highe...
متن کاملPossibility of biological effects of cosmic rays in high altitudes, stratosphere and space.
R E C E N T D I S C U S S I O N S on aero medical problems of space travel (Armstrong, Haber and Strughold 4) have called attention to the possibility that cosmic rays in the stratosphere and in space may influence stratosphere planes, rockets, space ships and their freight (humans, animals and plants). There is no doubt--as shown by Hess and Eugster 28 in their report, "Cosmic Radiation and It...
متن کاملUltra High Energy Cosmic Rays: Observations and Theoretical Aspects
We present a brief introduction to the physics of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs), concentrating on the experimental results obtained so far and on what, from these results, can be inferred about the sources of UHECRs.
متن کاملHigh energy cosmic rays
I review here some of the physics we are learning and expect to learn in the near future through the observation of cosmic rays. The study of cosmic rays involves a combination of data from accelerators, ground arrays, atmospheric fluorescence detectors and balloon and satellite experiments. I will discuss the data of the Pierre Auger Observatory, PAMELA, ATIC and FST among other experiments.
