In recent years, cosmic rays have become the protagonists of a new
scientific revolution. We are able today to film the Universe with
telescopes of completely novel conception, recording information
from many different messengers and accessing previously unknown
cosmic regions. Written by a recognized authority in physics, this
book takes readers on a captivating journey through the world of
cosmic rays, their role in the revolutionary field of
multi-messenger astronomy, their production from powerful
accelerators close to the surfaces of black holes and compact
objects, reaching the highest levels of energy observed in nature,
and the implications this has for our understanding of the
Universe. Through the stories of pioneering scientists,
explorations of cutting-edge technologies, and simple explanations
related to particle physics, quantum mechanics, and astrophysics,
the book provides an illuminating state-of-the-art introduction to
the current state of high-energy astrophysics. The book was written
in straightforward yet rigorous language, so as to be accessible to
the greater public. For those curious about the cosmos and cosmic
gamma rays, nuclei, neutrinos, and gravitational waves, from casual
observers to professional astronomers and physicists, the book is a
must-read, offering a thrilling adventure into the future of
astronomy and particle physics.
