Abstract:
Ultra high energy charged particles reach Earth continuously, with many probably coming from far outside our Milky Way. We can discern them through the ionization they produce in air, through a very fast flash in the air, through radio emission. Only using a super-hybrid detection array the ultra high energy cosmic ray particles are best measured.
