High Energy Cosmic Rays (3rd Ed., 3rd ed. 2021) Astrophysics and Space Science Library Series, Vol. 462
Auteur : Stanev Todor
Offers an accessible text and reference (a cosmic-ray manual) for graduate students entering the field and high-energy astrophysicists will find this an accessible cosmic-ray manual
Easy to read for the general astronomer, the first part describes the standard model of cosmic rays based on our understanding of modern particle physics.
Presents the acceleration scenario in some detail in supernovae explosions as well as in the passage of cosmic rays through the Galaxy.
Compares experimental data in the atmosphere as well as underground are compared with theoretical models
