Stellar versus Galactic: The intensity of energetic particles at the evolving Earth and young exoplanets [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Energetic particles may have been important for the origin of life on Earth by driving the formation of prebiotic molecules. We calculate the intensity of energetic particles, in the form of stellar and Galactic cosmic rays, that reach Earth at the time when life is thought to have begun ($\sim$3.8Gyr ago), using a combined 1.5D stellar wind model and ...

Lithium-6 and Gamma Rays: Complementary Constraints on Cosmic-Ray History [PDF]
Astrophys.J. 623 (2005) 877-888, 2004 The rare isotope 6Li is made only by cosmic rays, dominantly in alpha+alpha fusion reactions with ISM helium. Consequently, this nuclide provides a unique diagnostic of the history of cosmic rays in our Galaxy. The same hadronic cosmic-ray interactions also produce high-energy gamma rays (mostly via neutral pion production).

Highlights from the Telescope Array
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016 The Telescope Array measures the properties of ultra high energy cosmic ray induced extensive air showers. We do this using a variety of techniques including an array of scintillator detectors to sample the footprint of the air shower when it reaches the

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A lack of standard approaches for testing and reporting the performance of metal halide perovskites and organic semiconductor radiation detectors has resulted in inconsistent interpretation of performance parameters, impeding progress in the field. This Perspective recommends key metrics and experimental details, which are suggested for reporting in ...

Ultra high energy cosmic rays and inflation [PDF]
Second international workshop on particle physics and the early universe (COSMO-98), 1999 Two processes of matter creation after inflation: 1) gravitational creation of superheavy (quasi)stable particles, and 2) non-thermal phase transitions leading to formation of topological defects, may be relevant to the resolution of the puzzle of cosmic rays observed with energies beyond GZK cut-off. Both possibilities are reviewed in this talk.

Composition Classification of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 The study of cosmic rays remains as one of the most challenging research fields in Physics. From the many questions still open in this area, knowledge of the type of primary for each event remains as one of the most important issues. All of the cosmic rays observatories have been trying to solve this question for at least six decades, but have not yet ...

Cosmic Ray Physics with the IceCube Observatory [PDF]
, 2012 The IceCube Neutrino Observatory with its 1-km^3 in-ice detector and the 1-km^2 surface detector (IceTop) constitutes a three-dimensional cosmic ray detector well suited for general cosmic ray physics. Various measurements of cosmic ray properties, such as energy spectra, mass composition and anisotropies, have been obtained from analyses of air ...

Proton Acceleration with Relativistic Electromagnetic Shock
Advanced Science, EarlyView.New Ion Acceleration Mechanism! A novel cosmic‐ray proton acceleration mechanism is proposed, where relativistic electromagnetic shocks accelerate protons transversely. Hamiltonian analysis yields a scaling law linking the proton energy to the minimum longitudinal thickness of the shock.

The Role of Pressure Anisotropy in Cosmic Ray Hydrodynamics [PDF]
, 2019 Cosmic ray propagation in the Milky Way and other galaxies is largely diffusive, with mean free path determined primarily by pitch angle scattering from hydromagnetic waves with wavelength of order the cosmic ray gyroradius. In the theory of cosmic ray self confinement, the waves are generated by instabilities driven by the cosmic rays themselves.
