Usage Examples English
  • These high energy cosmic rays pose a health threat.
  • Zero gravity and cosmic rays can cause many implications for astronauts.
  • 3He is produced on Earth from three sources: lithium spallation, cosmic rays, and beta decay of tritium (3H).
  • The Fantastic Four is formed after four civilian astronauts are exposed to cosmic rays during an unauthorized outer space test flight in an experimental rocket ship designed by Dr.
  • Cosmic rays are particles traveling through space with high energies.

  • He found more at the top than expected, incidentally discovering what are known today as cosmic rays.
  • In 2013 results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station indicated excess high-energy cosmic rays which could be due to dark matter annihilation.
  • In electronics, cosmic rays and other sources of ionizing radiation cause noise pulses and single and multiple bit errors.
  • Because charge is conserved, it is not possible to create an antiparticle without either destroying another particle of the same charge (as is for instance the case when antiparticles are produced naturally via beta decay or the collision of cosmic rays with Earth's atmosphere), or by the simultaneous creation of both a particle "and" its antiparticle, which can occur in particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
  • Thermal noise and cosmic rays may alter the pixels in the CCD array.

  • Carbon-14 is continuously generated by cosmic rays in the atmosphere.
  • Pierce and Adams (2009) noted that their findings did not rule out a possible connection between cosmic rays and climate change, and recommended further research.
  • Atmospheric neutrinos result from the interaction of cosmic rays with atomic nuclei in the Earth's atmosphere, creating showers of particles, many of which are unstable and produce neutrinos when they decay.
  • In 1935 he described relativity as "a beggar wrapped in purple whom ignorant people take for a king" and said his own experiments had measured the speed of cosmic rays from Arcturus as fifty times the speed of light.
  • High-energy neutrons have much more energy than fission energy neutrons and are generated as secondary particles by particle accelerators or in the atmosphere from cosmic rays.

  • For example, so-called "secondary muons", created by cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere, can penetrate the atmosphere and reach Earth's land surface and even into deep mines.
  • The magnetic field shields the Earth from the charged particles of the solar wind, and cosmic rays that would otherwise strip away the upper atmosphere (including the ozone layer that limits the transmission of ultraviolet radiation).
