33. Cosmic Rays; 34. Energetic Particles; 35. Solar fast Particles ... Cosmic Rays and Starlight ... Actually, the source of cosmic rays is probably not quite as intense, because cosmic ray particles can stay around the galaxy much longer than starlight. Starlight moves in straight lines, one pass through our galaxy and it...

Ultra-high-energy cosmic ray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In high-energy physics, an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray ( UHECR ) or extreme-energy cosmic ray ( EECR ) is a cosmic ray (subatomic particle) which appears to have extreme kinetic energy, far b...

Particles in Cosmic Rays ... Almost 90% of the cosmic rays which strike the Earth's atmosphere are protons (hydrogen nuclei) and about 9% are alpha particles. Electrons amount to about 1% according to Chaisson & McMillan. There is a small fraction of heavier particles which yield some interesting information.
