Astrophysics at Ultra-High Energies : Proceedings of the 15th Course of the International School of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics.
This book introduces young researchers to the exciting field of ultra-high energy astrophysics including charged particles, gamma rays and neutrinos. At ultra-high energy the radiation is produced by interactions of cosmic ray particles accelerated in explosive events such as supernovae or hypernova...
