One way of learning about cosmic rays is using different detectors to observe aspects of a cosmic ray air shower.
12.
Often, air showers are equipped with air ionizers to reduce static electricity, as large volumes of high-velocity air create electric charges.
13.
The scintillators detect charged particles contained in extenstive air showers produced by interaction of high energy cosmic rays in the atmosphere.
14.
This is a running and well calibrated air shower experiment, which provides LOPES with a suitable trigger and reconstructed shower parameters.
15.
The fluorescence detectors are used to track the particle air shower's glow on cloudless moonless nights, as it descends through the atmosphere.
16.
After donning a bunny suit and protective booties, anyone entering the lab passes through an air shower that blows away any dust.
17.
When an air shower hits multiple Cherenkov Detectors on the ground, the direction of the ray can be calculated using basic geometrics.
18.
In cleanrooms in which the standards of air contamination are less rigorous, the entrance to the cleanroom may not have an air shower.
19.
A cosmic ray or high-energy gamma ray striking an atom in the upper atmosphere generates a cascade of particles known as an air shower.
20.
Currently, two-photon physics studies creation of various fermion pairs both theoretically and experimentally ( using particle accelerators, air showers, radioactive isotopes, etc . ).
