Written by renowned physicist Todor Stanev of the Bartol Research Institute, this comprehensive astrophysics reference reviews the theoretical aspects and experimental techniques of cosmic ray research. Covers how galactic cosmic rays are born in supernova explosions and astrophysical processes, how particles are accelerated to extreme energies, and how they interact with matter, magnetic fields, and radiation across the Universe, including very high energy air shower experiments, gamma-ray astronomy, and high energy neutrino astronomy.

Review
Review of 1st Edition, "This publication ... is aimed at serious students of the subject. ... Arranged in two parts, Stanev first describes the standard model of cosmic rays and the interactions that are important ... . The second part describes the challenges of current cosmic ray research ... . It is a must read for those with a passion to find out more about the high energy universe." --(Roger Feasey, Journal of the Auckland Astronomical Society AAS, August, 2005)
Review of 1st Edition, "Todor Stanev ... has distilled the essence of cosmic ray physics. It is a magnificent achievement and will be invaluable for workers in the field. It should also be available for consultation by researchers in related disciplines ... there will also be a need to make use of excellent list of referenced material." --(Roger Clay, The Physicist, Vol. 41 (5), September/October, 2004)
