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 ...

Assessment of neutrons from secondary cosmic rays at mountain altitudes – Geant4 simulations of environmental parameters including soil moisture and snow cover [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Ground-based measurements of neutrons from secondary cosmic rays are affected by environmental parameters, particularly hydrogen content in soil. To investigate the impact of these parameters, in particular snow cover, Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations were

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 ...

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.
