Opening Remarks ~ Prospects of very high energy cosmic ray interactions for astroparticle physics [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 Hadronic interactions of very high energy cosmic rays have been studied in various aspects of motivation. In recent decades, mainly motivated by air shower experiments, modelling of very high energy cosmic ray interactions have been greatly improved ...

Cosmic rays, aerosol formation and cloud-condensation nuclei: sensitivities to model uncertainties [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 The flux of cosmic rays to the atmosphere has been reported to correlate with cloud and aerosol properties. One proposed mechanism for these correlations is the "ion-aerosol clear-air" mechanism where the cosmic rays modulate atmospheric ion ...

Secondary Antiprotons and Propagation of Cosmic Rays in the Galaxy and Heliosphere [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 High-energy collisions of cosmic-ray nuclei with interstellar gas are believed to be the mechanism producing the majority of cosmic ray antiprotons. Due to the kinematics of the process they are created with a nonzero momentum; the characteristic spectral shape with a maximum at ~2 GeV and a sharp decrease towards lower energies makes antiprotons a ...

Influence of Solar Wind on Secondary Cosmic Rays and Atmospheric Electricity
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 A relationship between the heliospheric magnetic field, atmospheric electric field, lightning activity, and secondary cosmic rays measured on the high mount of Lomnický Štít (2,634 m a.s.l.), Slovakia, during the declining phase of the solar cycle 24 is ...

Modeling Meteorological Effects on Cosmic Ray Muons Utilizing Multivariate Analysis
Space Weather, 2021 Correction of meteorological effects on muon component of secondary cosmic rays significantly extends the usability of muon monitors. We propose a new data driven empirical method for correction of meteorological effects on muon component of secondary ...

Giant Molecular Clouds as probes of of Galactic Cosmic Rays with Fermi-LAT [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 Direct measurements of Cosmic Rays (CRs) can not extend much further than the Solar System. In order to probe the so-called “sea” of Galactic Cosmic Rays, one should rely on secondary emission.

SECONDARY PRODUCTION AS THE ORIGIN OF THE COSMIC-RAY POSITRON EXCESS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer has released high-precision data for cosmic rays, and has verified an excess of positrons relative to expectations from cosmic-ray interactions in the interstellar medium. An exciting and well-known possibility for the excess is production of electron–positron pairs by annihilating dark matter ...
