• More than 100,000 cosmic rays will hit each of you during this
lecture

What are Cosmic Rays? Cosmic Rays (CR) are high-energy particles of extraterrestrial
origin
Secondary CR (produced by the primaries in the
Earth’s atmosphere) consist of essentially all
elementary particles and nuclei (both stable and
unstable). The most important are
• nucleons, nuclei & nucleides,
• (hard) gammas,
• mesons (p±,p0,K±, …, D±,…),
• charged leptons (e±, m±, t±),
• neutrinos & antineutrinos (ne, nm, nt).
“Classical” CR are nuclei or ionized atoms ranging from a
single proton up to an iron nucleus and beyond, but
being mostly
protons (~90%) and particles (~9%).
Including stable and quasistable particles:
• neutrons,
• antiprotons & (maybe) antinuclei,
• hard gamma rays (l < 10-12 cm),
• electrons & positrons,
• neutrinos & antineutrinos,
• esoteric particles (WIMPs, magnetic monopoles,
mini black holes,...)?

• 1900 C.T.R. Wilson noticed that electroscopes lose their charges
even if they were very well isolated from the neighbouring sources;
• E. Rutherford hypothesised that most of the ionisation was
due to natural radioactivity;
but much more penetrating than natural radioactivity!

• 1910 T. Wulf who developed the best electrometers of that time, measured a
fall from 22,25 ions/cm3 s (~ sea level) to 15,7 ions/cm3 s, at the top of the Eiffel
Tower (330 m asl) but they should have halved in 80 m;

Victor F. Hess after one of his successful flights in 1912.
•1912 Hess ascended in his balloon to 5 km (in an open ballon without
oxygen!) and measured unambiguously an increase in ionisation (4 times
more discharges at 4880 m): there must be a radiation of cosmic origin
ionizing the atmosphere;

• 1931 Auguste Piccard took off from Augsburg with a pressurized cabin
to reach a record altitude of 15,785 m. During this flight, Piccard was
able to gather substantial data on the upper atmosphere, as well as
measure cosmic rays. In 1932, launched from Zürich to made a second
record-breaking ascent to 16,200 m. He ultimately made a total of
twenty-seven balloon flights setting a final record of 23,000 m.

Molecular Bremsstrahlung
1. EAS particles dissipates energy through ionization
2. A weakly ionized plasma is formed at T ~ 104 K
3. This plasma cools down very fast (10 ns) though collisions with air
molecules
4. Bremsstrahlung from free electrons (f ~ GHz: microwave band)

Coherent Radio Emission
1. EAS produces e± in the shower front
(2-3 m thick)
2. These e± bend in the geomagnetic field
(~ 0.3 G), generating synchrotron
radiation (geosynchrotron)
3. Emissions for all e± add up coherently
4. The radiation can be detected by
antennas at f ~ 100 MHz (FM band)

Electromagnetic waves:
• oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travel in vacuum
in the speed of light: c = 299.792.458 m/s ≈ 3 × 108 m/s
• the electromagnetic spectrum is continuous and we distinguish
different types of waves based on bands of frequency or wavelength
• within each band different processes may
occur, leading to different opacities to the
waves
