Cosmologically safe QCD axion as a present from extra dimension

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2015
We propose a QCD axion model where the origin of PQ symmetry and suppression of axion isocurvature perturbations are explained by introducing an extra dimension. Each extra quark–antiquark pair lives on branes separately to suppress PQ breaking operators.

Cosmic Ray Feedback

open access: yes, 2009
Cosmic rays produced or deposited at sites in hot cluster gas are thought to provide the pressure that forms X-ray cavities. While cavities have a net cooling effect on cluster gas, young, expanding cavities drive shocks that increase the local entropy ...

Cosmic ray strangelets

open access: yesJournal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 2005
Searching for strangelets in cosmic rays may be the best way to test the possible stability of strange quark matter. I review calculations of the astrophysical strangelet flux in the GV--TV rigidity range, which will be investigated from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) on the International Space Station, and discuss the merits of strangelets ...

Elastic scattering in geometrical model

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2016
The experimental data on proton–proton elastic and inelastic scattering emerging from the measurements at the Large Hadron Collider, calls for an efficient model to fit the data.

TeV cosmic-ray proton and helium spectra in the myriad model II

open access: yes, 2014
Recent observations show that the cosmic ray nuclei spectra start to harden above 100 GeV, in contradiction with the conventional steady-state cosmic ray model.

Space Weather Effects on Heart Rate Variations: Sex Dependence

open access: yesAtmosphere
The effects of solar activity and the accompanying space weather events on human pathological conditions, physiological parameters and other psycho-physiological disturbances have been analyzed in numerous recent investigations.

Cosmic Rays and Climate [PDF]

open access: yesSurveys in Geophysics, 2007
Among the most puzzling questions in climate change is that of solar-climate variability, which has attracted the attention of scientists for more than two centuries. Until recently, even the existence of solar-climate variability has been controversial - perhaps because the observations had largely involved temporary correlations between climate and ...

Highlight Talk from Super-Kamiokande

open access: yesUniverse, 2019
Super-Kamiokande (SK), a 50 kton water Cherenkov detector in Japan, is observing both atmospheric and solar neutrinos. It is also searching for supernova (relic) neutrinos, proton decays and dark matter-like particles. A three-flavor oscillation analysis

Cosmic ray acceleration

open access: yesAstroparticle Physics, 2013
This review describes the basic theory of cosmic ray acceleration by shocks including the plasma instabilities confining cosmic rays near the shock, the effect of the magnetic field orientation, the maximum cosmic ray energy and the shape of the cosmic ray spectrum.
