Su questo libro

Recensione

"...a thorough overview of the physics of cosmic-ray cascades in the atmosphere and underground as they have been shaped by the needs and developments of high-energy physics in the last decade. The treatment of all the topics is concise and based on or supplemented by sufficient physical argumentation to allow a much clearer understanding of the accompanying equations. The presentation is excellent and very useful to graduate students (to whom the book is mainly addressed) and also for researchers wishing to familiarize themselves with cosmic-ray cascades and cosmic rays in general, and there are a number of reviews and references provided that should suffice as a first step for a more thorough study."

Descrizione del libro

Concentrating on the highest energy cosmic rays, this book describes where they may originate, acquire energy, and interact, in large-scale shock waves, in supernova remnants and in accreting neutron stars. It also describes their interactions in the atmosphere and in the earth, how they are studied in surface and very large underground detectors, and what they tell us.
