Cosmic
rays
are
an
essential
part
of
the
universe.
Their
origin
is
related
to
many
important
astrophysical
processes,
such
as
star
formation,
stellar
evolution,
supernova
explosions
and
the
state
of
interstellar
matter
in
the
Galaxy.
Cosmic
Ray
Physics
reviews
our
present
knowledge
of
cosmic
rays,
describing
how
they
are
born
in
a
wide
range
of
cosmic
processes,
how
they
are
accelerated
and
how
they
interact
with
matter,
magnetic
fields
and
radiation
during
their
journey
across
the
Galaxy.
The
book
also
describes
the
detection
of
cosmic
rays,
and
the
processes
which
take
place,
both
at
the
top
and
within
the
Earth’s
atmosphere.
The
author
also
describes
the
very
important
area
of
the
underground
detection
of
very
high
energy
cosmic
rays
and
particles
such
as
neutrinos.
The book is divided into two parts, the first describing the standard model of cosmic rays and contemporary challenges, and the second part dealing with very high energy cosmic rays that cannot be detected directly in satellite and balloon experiments, and with gamma-ray and neutrino astronomy. It is in this particular aspect of the book that the greatest developments have taken place during the 5 years since the first edition was completed. Consequently, it is in the chapters cosmic ray showers, their spectrum, on high energy neutrinos, and on gamma-ray astronomy of this revised and updated 2ndedition that a considerable amount of new material has been incorporated with more minor revisions and updating taking place in the first part of the book. Students and lecturers of advanced undergraduate courses on cosmic rays and astroparticle physics as well as post graduates and researchers will continue to find this book a valuable source of learning and reference.

Recenzii
From
the
reviews
of
the
first
edition:
"… carefully crafted and well-written." (Stefan Westerhoff, Columbia University, Physics Today, September 2004)
"This publication … is aimed at serious students of the subject. … Arranged in two parts, Stanev first describes the standard model of cosmic rays and the interactions that are important … . The second part describes the challenges of current cosmic ray research … . It is a ‘must read’ for those with a passion to find out more about the high energy universe." (Roger Feasey, Journal of the Auckland Astronomical Society AAS, August, 2005)
"Todor Stanev … has distilled the essence of cosmic ray physics. It is a magnificent achievement and will be invaluable for workers in the field. It should also be available for consultation by researchers in related disciplines … there will also be a need to make use of excellent list of referenced material." (Roger Clay, The Physicist, Vol. 41 (5), September/October, 2004)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
This book on high-energy cosmic rays deals in its first part with the standard model of cosmic rays, describing how they are born in a wide range of cosmic processes, how they are accelerated and how they interact with matter, magnetic fields and radiation during their journey across the Galaxy. In its second part the book presents contemporary challenges in very high energy cosmic rays, with focus on their detection in the Earth’s atmosphere and underground, as well as new developments in gamma-ray and neutrino astronomy.
A decade after the publication of the second edition of this book, there are many new experimental results in the fields of high energy neutrino astronomy and in the whole energy range of detection of gamma-rays. There have also been many attempts for studies for multi-messenger events in these and all other fields. These new experimental efforts and their results are covered in this third edition. This is accompanied by a general analysis of these new results and the additional knowledge that they bring to our understanding of cosmic rays and their propagation in our Galaxy and extragalactic space.
A large part of the interpretation of these new findings is related to the development of the hadronic interaction models that we use to understand and describe the experimental results. The author describes the relation between the new high energy physics experiments and such models.
In addition to the discussion of new research, descriptions and graphs of the previous edition have been updated where appropriate. The third edition ends with a discussion of some possible and already planned experiments for future observations and an explanation of their importance for the better understanding of all processes that lead to the increase of our knowledge of high energy cosmic rays.
Students and lecturers of advanced undergraduate courses on cosmic rays and astroparticle physics as well as post-graduates and researchers will continue to find this book a valuable source of learning and reference.
