Millicharged cosmic rays and low recoil detectors [PDF]

Physical Review D, 2021
We consider the production of a "fast flux" of hypothetical millicharged particles (mCPs) in the interstellar medium (ISM). We consider two possible sources induced by cosmic rays: (a) $pp\rightarrow$(meson)$\rightarrow$(mCP) which adds to atmospheric production of mCPs, and (b) cosmic-ray up-scattering on a millicharged component of dark matter.

Cold clouds as cosmic-ray detectors [PDF]

Communications Physics, 2020
AbstractLow energy cosmic-rays (CRs) are responsible for gas heating and ionization of interstellar clouds, which in turn introduces coupling to Galactic magnetic fields. So far the CR ionization rate (CRIR) has been estimated using indirect methods, such as its effect on the abundances of various rare molecular species.

Cosmic-ray-induced correlated errors in superconducting qubit array. [PDF]

Nat Commun
Correlated errors may devastate quantum error corrections that are necessary for the realization of fault-tolerant quantum computation. Recent experiments with superconducting qubits indicate that they can arise from quasiparticle (QP) bursts induced by ...

Lateral distribution cosmic ray muon coincidences up to 36 m [PDF]

MethodsX
Primary cosmic ray particles comprise about 85 % protons, 12 % helium, 3 % iron, and heavier elements. These particles interact with the Earth's atmosphere, generating the Extensive Air Showers (EAS).
