The subject of high-energy astrophysics is typically linked with
satellite missions, though it was launched by a balloon looking for
sources of radioactivity other than those found on Earth. The
balloon experiments discovered what came to be called "cosmic"
radiation. The study of cosmic rays has since been a fruitful field
of high-energy astrophysics, yielding the discovery of the positron
and currently focused on what their highest energies might be.
Other high-energy particles include neutrinos from the Sun and
other sources and a variety of particles more theoretical in
nature, ranging from WIMPS (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles)
to magnetic monopoles. All of these types of high-energy particles
and sources will be discussed, including the modern missions used
to detect them, their findings, discoveries that resulted from
them, and details on the technical aspects of the experiments
designs.
