Cosmic Bullets: High Energy Particles in Astrophysics (Frontiers of Science (Reading, Mass.).)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The first complete book on one of the oldest cosmic mysteries
In 1992 the fastest object known to mankind hit the Earth's atmosphere at a speed within a billion-trillionth of one percent of the speed of light, carrying an energy far above that of the most powerful particle accelerator ever built. That object was a cosmic ray. Cosmic Bullets is the incredible story of the discovery and study of these messengers from deep space. The authors have captured the excitement and mystery of testing the utmost limits of scientific detection on these unusual particles.
