Multiple production up to √s = 13 TeV with the generator GHOST adapted to cosmic ray simulation

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The model HDPM of CORSIKA has been updated and developed on the base of the recent measurements by LHCb, CMS, TOTEM... The new model GHOST involving a 4-source production reproduces correctly the pseudorapidity distributions of charged secondaries and ...

Ionization in atmospheres of brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets. IV. The effect of cosmic rays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Cosmic rays provide an important source for free electrons in Earth's atmosphere and also in dense interstellar regions where they produce a prevailing background ionization. We utilize a Monte Carlo cosmic ray transport model for particle energies of 10(

Quality Control of High-Speed Photon Detectors [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
High-speed-photon detectors are some of the most important tools for observations of high energy cosmic rays. As technologies of photon detectors and their read-out electronics improved rapidly, the time resolution of some cosmic ray detectors became ...

Unparticle effects on cosmic ray photon and $e^\pm$ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We study the effects of unparticle physics on the cosmic ray photon and $e^\pm$, including on the pair production (PP) and elastic scattering (ES) of cosmic ray photon off various background radiations, and on the inverse Compton scattering of cosmic ray

Status and prospects of the TAx4 experiment [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
The TAx4 experiment is a project to observe highest energy cosmic rays by expanding the detection area of the TA experiment with newly constructed surface detectors (SDs) and fluorescence detectors (FDs).

Propagation in 3D spiral-arm cosmic-ray source distribution models and secondary particle production using PICARD

open access: yes, 2015
We study the impact of possible spiral-arm distributions of Galactic cosmic-ray sources on the flux of various cosmic-ray nuclei throughout our Galaxy. We investigate model cosmic-ray spectra at the nominal position of the sun and at different positions ...

Theoretical study of ionization profiles of molecular clouds near supernova remnants: Tracing the hadronic origin of GeV gamma radiation

open access: yes, 2014
Context: Since a few years, signatures of supernova remnants associated with molecular clouds have been detected in gamma rays. Whether these gamma rays are generated by cosmic ray electrons or by cosmic ray protons is usually not known. The detection of

Record-setting Cosmic-ray Intensities in 2009 and 2010 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We report measurements of record-setting intensities of cosmic-ray nuclei from C to Fe, made with the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer carried on the Advanced Composition Explorer in orbit about the inner Sun-Earth Lagrangian point. In the energy interval
