Radiation pressure on non-spherical dust grains in envelopes of late
... Dust grains condense and grow in the envelopes of latetype stars. The size spectrum of the grains extends from tiny particles to those with radii up to 1 µm or more (see discussion in Lafon & Berruyer 1991). The upper cut-off of the size distribution is the subject of the controversy. However, the m ...

A search for ultra-high-energy gamma rays at the South Pole
... Detection of high-energy cosmic and gamma rays is rather complicated. Because of the very low flux above 100 terraelectronvolts (approximately 1 per square meter per year), a very large area detector is required, and one must make use of the fact that both the cosmic and gamma rays generate cascades ...

Health threat from cosmic rays
The health threat from cosmic rays is the danger posed by galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles to astronauts on interplanetary missions. Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) consist of high energy protons (85%), helium (14%) and other high energy nuclei (HZE ions). Solar energetic particles consist primarily of protons accelerated by the Sun to high energies via proximity to solar flares and coronal mass ejections. They are one of the most important barriers standing in the way of plans for interplanetary travel by crewed spacecraft.
