"Over recent years there has been a marked growth in interest in the study and techniques of cosmic ray physics by astrophysicists and particle physicists. Cosmic radiation is important for the astrophysicist because of the information it can yield about energetic astrophysical …
At NASA's request, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) was asked to consider radiation exposure to aviation crews and passengers on commercial flights resulting from high altitude flights. The report reviews current knowledge about radiation expo…
Writing for the amateur scientist and the educated general reader, Michael W. Friedlander, a cosmic ray researcher, relates the history of cosmic ray science from its inception to its present status. He explains how cosmic rays are identified and their energies measured, then su…
Cosmic rays--even the name conjures up a vision of otherworldly mystery. Enigmatic for many years, they are now known to be not rays at all, but particles, the nuclei of atoms, raining down continually on the earth, where they can be detected throughout the atmosphere and someti…
