An Introduction to Cosmic Rays and Gamma-Ray Bursts
by A. De Rujula
Publisher: arXiv 2007
Number of pages: 37
Description:
The author reviews the subjects of non-solar cosmic rays (CRs) and long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). This is a version of an introductory talk to high-energy physicists. Nothing besides the standard model is required to understand CRs of any energy.
