X-rays are a common component of diagnostic testing and industrial monitoring, used for everything from monitoring your teeth to scanning your suitcase at the airport. But the high-energy rays ...

Historically, other high-energy cosmic rays have been detected, such as a 320-EeV particle in 1991, a 213-EeV particle in 1993, and a 280-EeV particle in 2001, all in the Northern Hemisphere.

The IceCube neutrino detector has allowed researchers to resolve a debate about what types of particles make up ...

Data from a South Pole observatory shows that the fraction of protons in ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays is lower than expected.

Hundreds of gamma ray signals were detected with ultra-high energies, ... High energy gamma rays have been detected coming from the Milky Way center. ESA/Gaia/DPAC, CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO.

The energy transported by the radiation is converted into a visual or electronic form by an X-ray detector, most of which operate in one of two energy levels, hard or soft.

The most energetic cosmic ray particle ever detected was given the brilliant moniker, the "Oh My God" particle. Detected in ...

And it has a significant role to play in future investigations of cosmic rays, and, by extension, the high-energy universe. The gravitational-wave signal GW170817 came from the merger of two ...

X-rays are a common component of diagnostic testing and industrial monitoring, used for everything from monitoring your teeth to scanning your suitcase at the airport. But the high-energy rays ...

By Stephen Beech. X-rays will be safer thanks to new detector technology, say scientists.. The scans are a common part of medical testing and industrial monitoring, used for everything from dental ...

Some gamma rays are thought to originate in the same environs as cosmic rays. One way they’re produced is that cosmic rays, shortly after being launched, can slam into relatively low-energy ...

It’s very hard to determine the mass of incoming cosmic rays, Coleman said. But the collaboration’s measurement is so robust and precise that a number of other theoretical models for where ...
