A minimal model for understanding secondary cosmic rays
Advances in Space Research, 2022 We take a phenomenological approach in a minimal model to understand the spectral intensity of secondary cosmic-ray particles like positrons, antiprotons, Lithium, Beryllium and Boron. Our analysis shows that cosmic rays at $\sim$ GeV energies pass through a significant amount of matter in regions surrounding the sources.

Synchronous detection of cosmic rays and correlated errors in superconducting qubit arrays [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsQuantum information processing at scale will require sufficiently stable and long-lived qubits, likely enabled by error-correction codes. Several recent superconducting-qubit experiments, however, reported observing intermittent spatiotemporally ...

Rigorous Theory for Secondary Cosmic-Ray Ionization [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract The energy spectrum of electrons produced in molecular gas by interstellar cosmic rays (CRs) is rigorously calculated as a function of gas column density N traversed by the CRs. This allows us to accurately compute the local value of the secondary ionization rate of molecular hydrogen,

Origin of Spectral Hardening of Secondary Cosmic Ray Nuclei [PDF]
Acta Physica Polonica B Proceedings Supplement, 2021 Abstract We discuss the acceleration and escape of secondary cosmic-ray (CR) nuclei, such as lithium, beryllium, and boron, produced by spallation of primary CR nuclei like carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen accelerated at the shock in supernova remnants (SNRs) surrounded by the interstellar medium (ISM) or a circumstellar medium (CSM).
