Radiodetection of Cosmic Ray Extensive Air Showers [PDF]

, 2004
We present the characteristics and performance of a demonstration experiment devoted to the observation of ultra high- energy cosmic ray extensive air showers using a radiodetection technique. In a first step, one antenna narrowed band filtered acting as

Boosted dark matter quarrying at surface neutrino detectors

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018
We propose the idea of “Earth Shielding” to reject cosmic-ray backgrounds, in the search for boosted dark matter at surface neutrino detectors, resulting in the enhancement of the signal-to-background ratio.

High energy cosmic-ray interactions with particles from the Sun

, 2011
Cosmic-ray protons with energies above $10^{16}$ eV passing near the Sun may interact with photons emitted by the Sun and be excited to a $\Delta^+$ resonance.

High energy cosmic-rays: puzzles, models, and giga-ton neutrino telescopes

, 2003
The existence of cosmic rays of energies exceeding 10^20 eV is one of the mysteries of high energy astrophysics. The spectrum and the high energy to which it extends rule out almost all suggested source models.

The HiSPARC-UK Cosmic Ray Detector [PDF]

Proceedings of The European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics — PoS(EPS-HEP2017), 2018
The international HiSPARC project is a collaboration between schools and academic institutions across Europe in real scientific research, and won the European Physical Society HEP outreach prize in 2007. It was born more than a decade ago in the Netherlands, with ongoing participation of over 100 schools.

Impact of particles on the Planck HFI detectors: Ground-based measurements and physical interpretation [PDF]

, 2014
The Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) surveyed the sky continuously from August 2009 to January 2012. Its noise and sensitivity performance were excellent, but the rate of cosmic ray impacts on the HFI detectors was unexpectedly high.

Ultrahigh-energy nuclei, photons, and magnetic fields

, 2010
Combined recent data from cosmic-ray detectors and gamma-ray detectors have produced some surprising insights regarding the sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), magnetic fields inside and outside the Milky Way, and the universal photon ...
