High Energy Cosmic Rays (2^nd Ed., 2nd ed. 2010)
Astronomy and Planetary Sciences Series

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

Second edition of successful textbook

Considers the very latest and most exciting topics in cosmic ray research

Considers both theoretical aspects and experimental techniques

Presents the very latest experimental results for cosmic ray measurements above and in the atmosphere, at the Earth’s surface, and underground

Theoretical models and experimental results can be grasped without working through the mathematics, if required
