  3. Air shower (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_shower_(physics)

    Air shower formation in the atmosphere. First proton collides with a particle in the air creating pions, protons and neutrons. The air shower is formed by interaction of the primary cosmic ray with the atmosphere, and then by subsequent interaction of the secondary particles, and so on. Depending on the type of the primary particle, the shower ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coincidence_method

    Coincidence method. In particle physics, the coincidence method (or coincidence technique) is an experimental design through which particle detectors register two or more simultaneous measurements of a particular event through different interaction channels.

  8. Cosmic string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_string

    Cosmic string. Cosmic strings are hypothetical 1-dimensional topological defects which may have formed during a symmetry-breaking phase transition in the early universe when the topology of the vacuum manifold associated to this symmetry breaking was not simply connected. Their existence was first contemplated by the theoretical physicist Tom ...

  9. Cosmic ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray

    Cosmic rays ionize nitrogen and oxygen molecules in the atmosphere, which leads to a number of chemical reactions. Cosmic rays are also responsible for the continuous production of a number of unstable isotopes, such as carbon-14, in the Earth's atmosphere through the reaction: n + 14 N → p + 14 C.
