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

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.

Analysis of the Capability of Detection of Extensive Air Showers by Simple Scintillator Detectors
Universe, 2022 One of the main objectives of the CREDO project is to register cosmic-ray cascades in many distributed detectors in the search for so-called Cosmic-Ray Ensembles (CRE).
