  5. The Amaterasu Particle May Not Be a Proton at All, New Research Suggests

    In 2021, scientists detected a cosmic ray entering Earth’s atmosphere with as much kinetic energy as a fast-moving…

  6. High-Statistics Measurement of the Cosmic-Ray Electron Spectrum with H.E.S.S.: arxiv.org/abs/2411.08189 -> Measuring the Spectrum of High-Energy Cosmic-Ray Electrons: physics.aps.org/articles/v17/1 - a new analysis of more than a decade’s worth of observations extends the spectrum of #CosmicRay electrons to unprecedented high energies.

  11. Physics as a community has often acted like one large recycling program. I was looking for sources for a paper I am co-authoring when I found a report from 1969 about a mobile #CosmicRay station. I read it and spotted the B&W photo below, showing the specialized curved lead bricks.

    Those same bricks are now used in the #HALO experiment @SNOLAB, which recycled the lead from a cosmic ray station in Deep River, ON, Canada … the same site that made this mobile cosmic ray station!

  16. #fallout #fallouttv #retro #nostalgic

    I have a #serial #terminal like the ones used in the #fallout #television #show. One of the plastic #monitor tube mounting posts is broken and it did not turn on but might just be a fuse. Been sitting in the attic for a long time. I salvaged it from the university of #minnesota #CosmicRay lab when they shut it down 35 years ago. It was used to #bootstrap a #PDP-11 #computer by typing in several lines of assembly to bring up the main #OperatingSystem. I'll see if I can get it working again or may be repurpose/retrofit it as a modern computer monitor. They offered me the PDP-11 at the time also but it was too big for me to retain.

  25. A Ray From #Space Hit #Earth with Such Incredible Power That Scientists Named It After a God
    The source of the #Amaterasu particle, named after the Japanese sun goddess, is a "big mystery." It’s the second-highest-energy #cosmicray ever recorded, at 240 exa-electron volts (Eev), second only to the aptly-named "Oh-My-God particle" discovered in 1991, which clocked in at 320Eev. Researchers describe the energy as equivalent to dropping a brick on your toe from waist height. vice.com/en/article/v7bqj3/ama

  30. Meet “#Amaterasu”: #Astronomers detect highest energy #cosmicray since 1991
    The #Telescope Array in Utah's West Desert picked up a rare particle with 244 EeV energy. It's the most energetic cosmic ray detected since 1991, when astronomers detected the so-called "Oh-My-God' particle, with energies of an even more impressive 320 EeV. Astronomers have dubbed this latest event the "Amaterasu" particle, after the Shinto sun goddess said to have created Japan. arstechnica.com/science/2023/1
