Description
Since their discovery in 1912 astroparticles (a.k.a. cosmic rays) have been studied from multiple points of view. While for some experiments they are an annoying background for others they are the focus, as astroparticles span a very large range in energy and originate in the enigmatic objects that fill the Universe, from supernovae to quasars and AGNs.
Experiments dedicated to the study of astroparticles have been developed in recent years throughout the world, based on various detection techniques, from the simple particle detectors to radio detection. From detection in the air to detection in the lunar regolith these experiments aim to shed light on the origin and properties of cosmic particles.
