Abstract

In the century since the measurements of Victor Hess [1]-considered as the discovery of cosmic rays-the properties of cosmic rays, as they arrive on Earth, have been studied in remarkable detail; we know their energy spectrum, extending to 1020 eV, their elemental composition, their angular distribution, and we understand the basic energetic requirements of cosmic ray production in the Galaxy.
