Research on Cosmic Rays and Their Impact on Human Activities [PDF]

, 2022
The galactic cosmic–ray spectrum extends over 14 orders of magnitudes in energy and about 12 orders of magnitude in intensity, and it can be studied using two different methods: via the “direct detection” of the primary cosmic rays in space or at high ...

Measurement of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays with CHICOS [PDF]

, 2009
The California HIgh school Cosmic ray ObServatory (CHICOS) is a ground-based scintillator array designed to measure the extended air showers of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. The goal of the project is to gain insight into the origin of ultra-high energy

Galactic cosmic ray modulation near the heliospheric current sheet [PDF]

, 2014
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 ...

The influence of galactic cosmic rays on ion-neutral hydrocarbon chemistry in the upper atmospheres of free-floating exoplanets [PDF]

, 2014
The authors highlight financial support of the European Community under the FP7 by an ERC starting grant.Cosmic rays may be linked to the formation of volatiles necessary for prebiotic chemistry.

Changes in cloud cover associated with Forbush decreases of galactic cosmic rays [PDF]

, 2001
The results of a study to quantify the relationship between cloud cover and short-term Forbush decreases (FD) of galactic cosmic ray flux are presented. Using an extensive record of global satellite-derived cloud products from the International Satellite

Numerical simulations of mixing conditions and aerosol dynamics in the CERN CLOUD chamber [PDF]

, 2012
To study the effect of galactic cosmic rays on aerosols and clouds, the Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) project was established. Experiments are carried out at a 26.1 m3 tank at CERN (Switzerland).

Anisotropy and Corotation of Galactic Cosmic Rays [PDF]

Science, 2006
The intensity of Galactic cosmic rays is nearly isotropic because of the influence of magnetic fields in the Milky Way. Here, we present two-dimensional high-precision anisotropy measurement for energies from a few to several hundred teraelectronvolts (TeV), using the large data sample of the Tibet Air Shower Arrays.

COSMIC RAY PROPAGATION IN GALACTIC TURBULENCE [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2014
We revisit propagation of galactic cosmic rays (CRs) in light of recent advances in CR diffusion theory in realistic interstellar turbulence. We use a tested model of turbulence in which it has been shown that fast modes dominate scattering of CRs. As a result, propagation becomes inhomogeneous and environment dependent.

Galactic cosmic rays [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
The multi-facet nature of the origin of cosmic rays is such that some of the problems currently met in our path to describing available data are due to oversimplified models of CR acceleration and transport, and others to lack of knowledge of the physical processes at work in certain conditions.

Observation of New Properties of Secondary Cosmic Rays Lithium, Beryllium, and Boron by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station [PDF]

, 2019
We report on the observation of new properties of secondary cosmic rays Li, Be, and B measured in the rigidity (momentum per unit charge) range 1.9 GV to 3.3 TV with a total of $5.4 \times 10^6$ nuclei collected by AMS during the first five years of ...
