Effectiveness of Multi-Layered Radiation Shields Constructed from Polyethylene and Metal Hydrides Using HZETRN and OLTARIS for Space Applications [PDF]
A major challenge for extended human spaceflights in deep space is the dangerous exposure to space radiation. These high-energy particles pose significant risks to astronaut health. To mitigate these risks, effective radiation shielding is essential.

On the Potential Cosmogenic Origin of the Ultra-high-energy Event KM3-230213A
On 2023 February 13, the KM3NeT/ARCA telescope observed a track-like event compatible with a ultra-high-energy muon with an estimated energy of 120 PeV, produced by a neutrino with an even higher energy, making it the most energetic neutrino event ever ...

Where Did the Amaterasu Particle Come From?
The Telescope Array Collaboration recently reported the detection of a cosmic-ray particle, “Amaterasu,” with an extremely high energy of 2.4 × 10 ^20 eV. Here we investigate its probable charge and the locus of its production.

Ultra-High-energy Cosmic Ray Production in Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Having previously argued that binary neutron star (BNS) mergers are the principle source of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), we exploit here the highly constrained initial conditions to make quantitative predictions for the cutoff energy of ...
