Reviews for Cosmic Rays and Particle Physics
'With more than 25 years since the first edition, this second edition ... has been revised and extended by about 150 pages to account for the progress and important discoveries made in the field since then. These comprise the famous neutrino oscillations, the cutoff in ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray spectra, Tera-electronvolt gamma rays from galactic sources and the unexpected excess of ... Read more
