A new study has revealed an unexpected link between solar storms and the flux of high-energy cosmic rays arriving at Earth.
An analysis of more than 50 years’ worth of climate data has found scant evidence for a controversial theory that attempts to link cosmic rays and global warming. The theory suggests that solar ...
Cosmic rays (CR) constitute high-energy particles that mainly originate outside our solar system. These primary CR interact with interstellar matter to produce secondary CR. The secondary nature of ...
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer collaboration has just presented its latest results. These are based on the analysis of 41 billion particles detected with the space-based AMS detector aboard the ...
Some high-energy neutrinos detected in the Antarctic ice and thought to have come from outside the solar system may have been produced in Earth’s atmosphere. That is the conclusion of physicists in ...
The international team running the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) today announced the first results in its search for dark matter. They report the observation of an excess of positrons in the ...
Cosmic rays have their origins in hugely energetic events in space Research has thrown further doubt on the notion that cosmic rays are a major influence on the Earth's climate. The idea that modern ...
