One century of cosmic rays – A particle physicist's view
Experiments on cosmic rays and the elementary particles share a common history that dates back to the 19th century. Following the discovery of radioactivity in the 1890s, the paths of the two fields intertwined, especially during the decades after the ...

Galactic cosmic ray modulation near the heliospheric current sheet [PDF]
Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) are modulated by the heliospheric magnetic field (HMF) both over decadal time scales (due to long-term, global HMF variations), and over time scales of a few hours (associated with solar wind structures such as coronal mass ...

Studies of cosmic-ray solar modulation with the PAMELA experiment [PDF]
The launch of the satellite-borne PAMELA instrument on the 15th June 2006 opened a new era of high-precision studies of cosmic rays. Due to its low detection energy threshold and its long operation, PAMELA was able to accurately measure the fluxes of ...

Final results of the LOPES radio interferometer for cosmic-ray air showers
LOPES, the LOFAR prototype station, was an antenna array for cosmic-ray air showers operating from 2003 to 2013 within the KASCADE-Grande experiment. Meanwhile, the analysis is finished and the data of air-shower events measured by LOPES are available ...

The origin of cosmic rays and TeV gamma-ray astronomy
Cosmic rays are accelerated to high energies in Galactic and extragalactic objects like Supernova remnants (SNR) and active galactic nuclei (AGN). How these accelerators work and how efficient they accelerate different types of particles to energies of ...
