Cosmic rays from the knee to the highest energies

TLDR
In this paper, a review summarizes recent developments in the understanding of high-energy cosmic rays focusing on galactic and presumably extragalactic particles in the energy range from the knee (1015 eV ) up to the highest energies observed ( > 10 20 eV).

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Physics of the Interstellar and Intergalactic Medium

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive and richly illustrated textbook on the astrophysics of the interstellar and intergalactic medium is presented, including the gas and dust, as well as the electromagnetic radiation, cosmic rays, and magnetic and gravitational fields, present between the stars in a galaxy and also between galaxies themselves.

The Astrophysics of Ultrahigh-Energy Cosmic Rays

TL;DR: In this paper, the main effects of propagation from cosmologically distant sources, including interactions with cosmic background radiation and magnetic fields, are discussed, leading to a survey of candidate sources and their signatures.

The CMS experiment at the CERN LHC

S. Chatrchyan, +3175 more
TL;DR: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN as mentioned in this paper was designed to study proton-proton (and lead-lead) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV (5.5 TeV nucleon-nucleon) and at luminosities up to 10(34)cm(-2)s(-1)

Solar System Abundances and Condensation Temperatures of the Elements

TL;DR: In this article, solar photospheric and meteoritic CI chondrite abundance determinations for all elements are summarized and the best currently available photosphere abundances are selected, including the meteoritic and solar abundances of a few elements (e.g., noble gases, beryllium, boron, phosphorous, sulfur).
