We zome in real composition of unique raypic strengths – to help reveal their unknown sources.

The universe is We will always bathe OTHERS blast particlesAs Brian Clark at the University of Maryland. The strongest amongst them, called ultra-fort-energy cosmic rays, has increased energy than the accelerated particles of nails. They rarely – researchers do not know what produces them or where they come from. Even particles who make them an unresolved question. Now cleared by Clark and his companions with their composition using data collected at Icecube neutrino detector in Antarctica.

Previous Ultra-Dreation Cosmic Ray Detection – In Pierre Aaper Observatory in Argentina and Teless Routes Most Protons or if other particles are also in mixing, Clark also said. ICECUBE data offers some resolution: it is suggested Protons Account only 70 percent of full-out-energy cosmic rays, while others were made of heavy ions like iron.

Team member Maximilian Meier In Chiba University in Japan says IceCube’s data is complete with other measurements, which can be found directly in cosmic rings. On the contrary, the icecube found the particles called Neutrinos, byproducts in collisions between the strong cosmic rays and photons left from the Great Bang. Neutrino Themselves are hard to find and simulate on a computer, he says.

The particles in the cosmic rings determine how the main fields of spaceborne impacts their way through space. Understanding their composition is that an important part of the difficult task of finding their source, as Toshihiro Fujii In Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan.

Those unknown sources have created some dramatic mysteries such as Unique particles Cosmic rays. Unusual, seemed to come out of a region of space near the Milky Way where there was “no promised astronomical candidates” for its origin, he said.

Clark said he was optimistic about solving many mysteries for a decade because many new observation instruments, including an icecube upgrade, to arrive online. “The field has a clear sight of how we can get (answer) some of the questions,” he said.
