The clouds of charged particles moving along the field lines emit gamma rays that are focused by the magnetic fields, rather like the beams of light from a lighthouse. In these magnetic fields, pairs ...

Scientists have discovered high-energy cosmic rays after over a decade of painstaking data collection that can unlock new avenues about our understanding of the universe regarding cosmic processes ...

Scientists have a problem with cosmic rays—they produce too many muons ... forming a gluon condensate. The formation of these gluon condensates would then influence the hadrons subsequently ...

The universe is a stage filled with extreme phenomena, where temperatures and energies reach unimaginable levels. In this context, there are objects such as supernova remnants, pulsars, and active ...

The most powerful cosmic-ray electrons and positrons ever detected slamming into Earth's atmosphere carry energies so high they can only have come from relatively close by, new research has revealed.

Abstract: Cosmic rays may cause soft fails in electronic logic or memory. The IBM Journal of Research and Development, Volume 40, No. 1, discussed this complex event in detail. In order to predict ...

New insights into the origins of high-energy cosmic-ray electrons are revealing a more detailed picture of extreme cosmic phenomena and point to a mysterious source located close to our solar system.

Scientists at the HESS observatory in Namibia have found the most energetic cosmic rays ever detected, reaching up to 40 teraelectronvolts. These cosmic rays appear to originate from sources close ...

If we include neutrinos, we think trillions of them are passing through your body right now, but if we just focus on cosmic rays from beyond the Solar System, we still get a fair amount hitting us.

H.E.S.S. Observatory finds highest-energy cosmic ray electrons recorded. Discovery points to nearby cosmic accelerators like pulsars, supernovae. Findings reshape understanding of high-energy ...
