Sinopsis

This is a textbook for graduate students entering the field but at the same time a cosmic ray manual for high energy astrophysicists. The first part, easy to read for the general astronomer, describes the standard model of cosmic rays based on our understanding of modern particle physics. The acceleration scenario is presented in some detail in supernovae explosions as well as in the passage of cosmic rays through the Galaxy. Experimental data in the atmosphere as well as underground are compared with theoretical models. The second part is devoted to contemporary cosmic ray research like the analysis of shower phenomena, the discussion of the end of the cosmic spectrum and, finally, high energy neutrino astronomy.

Críticas

From the reviews: Physics Today, September 2004 Stefan Westerhoff, Columbia University "a ] carefully crafted and well-written." "This publication a ] is aimed at serious students of the subject. a ] Arranged in two parts, Stanev first describes the standard model of cosmic rays and the interactions that are important a ] . The second part describes the challenges of current cosmic ray research a ] . It is a a ~must reada (TM) 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 a ] 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 a ] 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)
