Observing cosmic ray neutrons. Background information, explanation of worldwide monitor network, detector description, publications, links.
Increased estimates of extragalactic magnetic fields may explain why possible HE CR sources, like AGN M87, do not align with observed CR directions.
Large air fluorescence cosmic ray detector.
Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, University of Tokyo.
Ultrahigh energy photons striking matter can transform into rho mesons through an interaction that involves many nuclei simultaneously, a phenomenon that may affect the detection signatures of high-energy particles from space.
Aims to observe the highest-energy cosmic rays.
Space-borne experiments like PAMELA, SilEye, NINA and balloons. Downloadable results, articles and pictures.
