All-particle cosmic ray energy spectrum measured by the HAWC experiment from 10 to 500 TeV [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We report on the measurement of the all-particle cosmic ray energy spectrum with the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory in the energy range 10 to 500 TeV. HAWC is a ground-based air-shower array deployed on the slopes of Volcan Sierra Negra

Measurement of the Radiation Energy in the Radio Signal of Extensive Air Showers as a Universal Estimator of Cosmic-Ray Energy. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2016
We measure the energy emitted by extensive air showers in the form of radio emission in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. Exploiting the accurate energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we obtain a radiation energy of 15.8±0.7(stat)±6.7(syst)

The Interaction of Cosmic Rays with Diffuse Clouds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We study the change in cosmic-ray pressure, the change in cosmic-ray density, and the level of cosmic-ray induced heating via Alfven-wave damping when cosmic rays move from a hot ionized plasma to a cool cloud embedded in that plasma. The general analysis method outlined here can apply to diffuse clouds in either the ionized interstellar medium or in ...

Stellar versus Galactic: The intensity of energetic particles at the evolving Earth and young exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Energetic particles may have been important for the origin of life on Earth by driving the formation of prebiotic molecules. We calculate the intensity of energetic particles, in the form of stellar and Galactic cosmic rays, that reach Earth at the time when life is thought to have begun ($\sim$3.8Gyr ago), using a combined 1.5D stellar wind model and ...

Lithium-6 and Gamma Rays: Complementary Constraints on Cosmic-Ray History [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophys.J. 623 (2005) 877-888, 2004
The rare isotope 6Li is made only by cosmic rays, dominantly in alpha+alpha fusion reactions with ISM helium. Consequently, this nuclide provides a unique diagnostic of the history of cosmic rays in our Galaxy. The same hadronic cosmic-ray interactions also produce high-energy gamma rays (mostly via neutral pion production).

Impact of Fermi-LAT and AMS-02 results on cosmic-ray astrophysics

open access: yes, 2015
This article reviews a few topics relevant to Galactic cosmic-ray astrophysics, focusing on the recent AMS-02 data release and Fermi Large Area Telescope data on the diffuse Galactic gamma-ray emissivity.

Human Physiological Parameters Related to Solar and Geomagnetic Disturbances: Data from Different Geographic Regions

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2021
It is well known that the various manifestations of space weather can influence a wide range of human activities, from technological systems to human health. Various earlier, as well as more recent multi-disciplinary heliobiological and biometeorological

COSMIC RAYS AT THE KNEE [PDF]

open access: yesEnergy Budget in the High Energy Universe, 2007
Several kinds of measurements are combined in an attempt to obtain a consistent estimate of the spectrum and composition of the primary cosmic radiation through the knee region. Assuming that the knee is a signal of the high-energy end of a galactic cosmic-ray population, I discuss possible signatures of a transition to an extra-galactic population and

Cosmic Ray and Neutrino Emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts with a Nuclear Cascade [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We discuss neutrino and cosmic-ray emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with the injection of nuclei, where we take into account that a nuclear cascade from photo-disintegration can fully develop in the source.

From Brad to worse: Rule‐consequentialism and undesirable futures

open access: yesRatio, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 275-288, December 2022., 2022
Abstract This paper asks how rule‐consequentialism might adapt to very adverse futures, and whether moderate liberal consequentialism can survive into broken futures and/or futures where humanity faces imminent extinction. The paper first recaps the recent history of rule‐consequentialist procreative ethics.
