The scope of the book is to give an overview of the history of
astroparticle physics, starting with the discovery of cosmic rays
(Victor Hess, 1912) and its background (X-ray, radioactivity).
The book focusses on the ways in which physics changes in the
course of this history. The following changes run parallel,
overlap, and/or interact:
- Discovery of effects like X-rays, radioactivity, cosmic rays, new
particles but also progress through non-discoveries (monopoles)
etc.
- The change of the description of nature in physics, as
consequence of new theoretical questions at the beginning of the
20th century, giving rise to quantum physics, relativity, etc.
- The change of experimental methods, cooperations, disciplinary
divisions.
With regard to the latter change, a main topic of the book is to
make the specific multi-diciplinary features of astroparticle
physics clear."
