Cosmic rays particle physics refers to the branch of particle physics that focuses on the study of high-energy particles originating from space, known as cosmic rays. These cosmic rays include various types of particles, such as protons, electrons, and atomic nuclei, that travel through the universe at extremely high energies. Cosmic rays are of interest to particle physicists because they provide unique opportunities to explore fundamental particle interactions and the physical processes that occur in extreme environments. Research in cosmic rays particle physics involves the use of detectors and observatories to measure and analyze the properties of cosmic rays, including their energy, composition, and arrival direction.
