High Energy Photons and Neutrinos from Cosmic Sources

  • Chapter
Kosmische Strahlung II / Cosmic Rays II

Part of the book series: Handbuch der Physik / Encyclopedia of Physics ((PHYSIK 9,volume 9 / 46 / 2))

Abstract

Cosmic rays were first detected more than 50 years ago and after a terrestrial origin was disproved they were first taken to be γ-rays. Only when they were found to be deflected in the earth’s magnetic field was it realized that they are charged particles. Until a few years ago there was no direct evidence for the presence of hard radiation from the cosmos. In 1957 x-rays were first detected from the sun by the NRL group (1), but only in the last two or three years have x-ray sources which lie outside the solar system been detected and γ-ray observations been attempted.

The authors originally prepared an article on this topic for presentation at the I.A.U. Symposium on Astronomical Observations from Space Vehicles which was held at Liège in August, 1964. At the request of Dr. Sitte this was revised for inclusion here.
