Introduction to Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Ray Physics

Introduction to Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Ray Physics

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Cosmic ray physics has recently attracted a great deal of attention from the high energy physics community because of the discovery of new sources and the advent of new techniques. The result of a series of lectures prepared for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, this book is a general introduction to experimental techniques and results in the field of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. It succinctly summarizes the rapidly developing field, and provides modern results that include data from newer detectors.

Sokolsky combines experiment and theory, even as he maintains a largely phenomenological discussion, tying the major physics questions to a description of the experimental techniques used to study them.

About the Author
Pierre Sokolsky is Professor at the University of Utah. His research interests include the study of the origins and composition of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays, the cosmic ray spectrum, composition and anisotropy, and the search for point sources of neutral cosmic rays.
