Astrophysical Aspects Of The Most Energetic Cosmic Rays

Download or read book Astrophysical Aspects Of The Most Energetic Cosmic Rays - Proceedings Of The Icrr International Symposium written by M Nagano and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1991-07-23 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proceedings present new results obtained from recent observations by the Haverah Park, Yakutsk, Fly's Eye and Akeno groups on the shape of the energy spectrum, the arrival direction (point source) and the nature of the most energetic cosmic rays. They also contain an in-depth discussion of the present status of observations on discrete sources at TeV and PeV energies. A detailed discussion of the physics problems related to the origin, acceleration mechanism and propagation of the most energetic cosmic rays in the galactic and extragalactic space is given in relation to observable features.
