Download and read online ebook Cosmic Ray Astrophysics write by Reinhard Schlickeiser. This book was released on 2013-03-14. Cosmic Ray Astrophysics available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In the first part, the book gives an up-to-date summary of the observational data. In the second part, it deals with the kinetic description of cosmic ray plasma. The underlying diffusion-convection transport equation, which governs the coupling between cosmic rays and the background plasma, is derived and analyzed in detail. In the third part, several applications of the solutions of the transport equation are presented and how key observations in cosmic ray physics can be accounted for is demonstrated.

Download and read online ebook Cosmic Rays and Particle Physics write by Thomas K. Gaisser. This book was released on 1990. Cosmic Rays and Particle Physics available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Over recent years there has been marked growth in interest in the study of techniques of cosmic ray physics by astrophysicists and particle physicists. Cosmic radiation is important for the astrophysicist because in the farther reaches of the universe. For particle physicists, it provides the opportunity to study neutrinos and very high energy particles of galactic origin. More importantly, cosmic rays constitue the background, and in some cases possibly the signal, for the more exotic unconfirmed hypothesized particles such as monopoles and sparticles. Concentrating on the highest energy cosmic rays, this book describes where they originate, acquire energy, and interact, in accreting neutron stars, supernova remnants, in large-scale shock waves. 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.

Download and read online ebook Astrophysics of Cosmic Rays write by Veniamin Sergeevich Berezinskiĭ. This book was released on 1990. Astrophysics of Cosmic Rays available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book is devoted to the astrophysics of cosmic rays, especially the origin of the cosmic rays observed on Earth. The problem of the propagation and acceleration of cosmic rays in the interstellar medium and, in general, in the galaxy is discussed. Topics of gamma- and X-ray astronomy and of high-energy neutrino astronomy related to cosmic rays are also discussed. Summaries of the observational and experimental results are given."

Download and read online ebook Very High Energy Cosmic Gamma Radiation write by Felix A. Aharonian. This book was released on 2004. Very High Energy Cosmic Gamma Radiation available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Gamma ray astronomy, the branch of high energy astrophysics that studies the sky in energetic ?-ray photons, is destined to play a crucial role in the exploration of nonthermal phenomena in the Universe in their most extreme and violent forms. The great potential of this discipline offers impressive coverage of many OC hot topicsOCO of modern astrophysics and cosmology, such as the origin of galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays, particle acceleration and radiation processes under extreme astrophysical conditions, and the search for dark matter."
