Early history of cosmic particle physics

The discovery of cosmic rays is a standard example of ‘one man’s noise is another man’s signal’. From the apparently minor leakages of electricity from well-insulated detectors came a subject of

From the Discovery of Radioactivity to the First Accelerator Experiments

The chapter reviews the historical phases of cosmic ray research from the very beginning around 1900 until the 1940s when first particle accelerators replaced cosmic particles as source for

IT was so early as 1903 that the British physicists, Rutherford and McLennan, noticed that the rate of leakage of an electric charge from an electroscope within an air-tight metal chamber could be
