The origin of cosmic rays [PDF]
Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 1999 It is generally regarded that the bulk of cosmic rays originate in the Galaxy and that those below the 'knee' (the rapid steepening in the energy spectrum) at a few PeV come from Galactic supernovae, the particles being accelerated by the shocks in the supernova remnants.

New generation Cherenkov telescope array: HADAR and its performance introduction
Nuclear Physics BAstrophysical very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays are believed to result almost exclusively from the interactions of populations of highly relativistic particles with ambient matter or photon fields.

One century of cosmic rays – A particle physicist's view
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 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 ...

The origin of cosmic rays and TeV gamma-ray astronomy
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 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 ...

Messengers of the Universe-Cosmic Rays Exploring Supermassive Black Holes
Galaxies, 2020 Cosmic rays were discovered over one hundred years ago but there are still unsolved problems. One of the hot problems is the origin of cosmic rays of the highest energies.

The GRAND project and GRANDProto300 experiment [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 The Giant Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND) is a proposal for a giant observatory of ultra-high energy cosmic particles (neutrinos, cosmic rays and gamma rays). It will be composed of twenty subarrays of 10 000 antennas each, totaling a detection area

Particles, Strings and Cosmology (PASCOS 99), 2000 Cosmic ray antiprotons have been detected for over 20 years and are now measured reliably. Standard particle and astrophysics predict a conventional spectrum and abundance of secondary antiprotons consistent with all current measurements. These measurements place limits on exotic Galactic antiproton sources and non-standard antiproton properties ...

Hierarchical Structure and Fabrication of Functionally Graded Biointerfaces in the Mussel Byssus
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.The byssus is a fibrous protein‐based holdfast consisting of mechanically distinct interfaces, which mussels use to anchor their soft living tissue to hard seashore surfaces. Here, multiscale methodologies were used to elucidate the compositional and structural features underlying these functionally graded interfaces and how they are fabricated through
