Radiation Cosmic

Cosmic radiation is ionizing and, which is a combination of primary and secondary and, arising as a result of the interactions of primary or secondary and. All cosmic radiation is received in the range between soft and hard particles. The soft range includes electrons, protons, positrons

Cosmic radiation is secondary nuclear radiation from radioactive nuclides arising during nuclear reactions between cosmic particles and the nuclei of atoms in the earth's atmosphere. It poses a particular danger to the upper layers of the earth's atmosphere and the earth's surface. By their nature, radiation of cosmic origin is divided into natural (occurring in normal outer space) and anthropogenic (generated during the launching of artificial satellites). Natural sources of radiation are cosmic radiation of natural origin. This radiation is created by galactic and solar radiation. Cross sections (midpoints of a nuclear reaction). annihilation of all quanta of M particles with mass m. According to the law of conservation of charge, the number of protons is N`=N+an. quanta that are formed from particles are also born due to nuclei of Coulomb collisions of cosmic rays with natural nuclei of nitrogen and oxygen. Long showers (usually many kilometers in length), associated with the capture of the nitrogen nucleus a in the atmospheric nitrogen nucleus with excitation energy E = 40-280 MeV, are also observed in the atmosphere of Jupiter, if we take into account the large N flows of rocks on its planet (about a thousand times greater than earthly).

There are two main ways to observe cosmic radiation - airborne and ground-based. Both special and conventional detectors placed under a layer of air are used. To record almost the entire range of radiation, the same device is used - the Geiger-Muller counter, which counts incoming cosmic particles. In this case, a shell filled with gas replaces the air atmosphere. The gas layer also creates a minimal amount of natural terrestrial radioactivity called background. However, for some detectors operating in an installation, the background exists, like a meter, it does not change (at least not significantly) from wait to wait. The background is created by a number of atmospheric electromagnetic radiations, i.e. from a weak Sun and from radioactive decay (cosmic gas acts as a “filter”).
