Cosmic rays and particle physics / Thomas K. Gaisser, University of Delaware, Ralph Engel, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Elisa Resconi, Technical University Munich. - Second edition. - xiv, 444 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
1. Cosmic rays -- 2. Cosmic ray data -- 3. Particle physics -- 4. Hadronic interactions and accelerator data -- 5. Cascade equations -- 6. Atmospheric muons and neutrinos -- 7. Neutrino masses and oscillations -- 8. Muons and neutrinos underground -- 9. Cosmic rays in the Galaxy -- 10. Extragalactic propagation of cosmic rays -- 11. Astrophysical -rays and neutrinos -- 12. Acceleration -- 13. Supernovae in the Milky Way -- 14. Astrophysical accelerators and beam dumps -- 15. Electromagnetic cascades -- 16. Extensive air showers -- 17. Very high energy cosmic rays -- 18. Neutrino astronomy.
Fully updated for the second edition, this book introduces the growing and dynamic field of particle astrophysics. It provides an overview of high-energy nuclei, photons and neutrinos, including their origins, their propagation in the cosmos, their detection on Earth and their relation to each other. Coverage is expanded to include new content on high energy physics, the propagation of protons and nuclei in cosmic background radiation, neutrino astronomy, high-energy and ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, sources and acceleration mechanisms, and atmospheric muons and neutrinos.
