Cosmic Ray Workshop May 15, Cosmic Rays Earth is continually bombarded by particles from outer space What are they? Where do they come from? How are they created? How do we detect them?

Cosmic Ray Workshop May 15, Discovery of Cosmic Rays Cosmic rays discovered in 1912 by Victor Hess measured radiation levels aboard a balloon up to 17,500 feet (without oxygen) found increasing radiation levels at higher altitudes

Cosmic Ray Workshop May 15, Primary Particle Flux flux falls ~30 orders of magnitude, spanning 12 orders of magnitude in energy Power Law Intensity ~ E – 2.7 look for features seems monotonous but

6 At the Surface of the Earth ~ 2 particles per second through outstretched hand Rule of Thumb: irreducible source of natural radioactivity 28 mrem/year at sea level twice as much if you live in Denver mostly muons (and neutrinos) primary cosmic rays interact in the atmosphere

Cosmic Ray Workshop May 15, What are the cosmic ray particles? Must be stable in order to get here protons electrons neutrinos photons nuclei (He  Fe) Not neutrons neutron lifetime ~ 15 minutes what about antiparticles anti protons positrons anti nuclei Not seen we live in matter universe
