Sentences with phrase «high energy particles coming»

This is because the solar wind modulates the flux of high energy particles coming from outside the solar system.

Not exact matches

In fact, just before posting this Top Pictures list, a NASA press release came out saying the Fermi satellite has seen gamma rays from this object, which is another very strong piece of evidence for this; gamma rays are the very highest energy form of light, and should be made when subatomic particles bounce around in supernova shock waves.

These Chandra observations showed that expanding debris from a supernova can accelerate subatomic particles faster than previously thought, and in fact can account for the highest - energy protons that come from outer space and are seen hitting the Earth's upper atmosphere.

When it comes to the highest energy cosmic rays — subatomic particles raining in from space — the sky is lopsided: More come from one direction than the other, according to a new study.

A generation of high - energy physicists came of age studying and testing the Standard Model of particle physics, a theory devised in the 1970s that has withstood all experimental challenges.

Gabor explained that the quantum mechanical phenomenon his team observed in their device is similar to what occurs when cosmic rays, coming into contact with the Earth's atmosphere with high kinetic energy, produce an array of new particles.

Ray Jayawardhana: It is a clue that most likely, these high energy neutrinos come either from jets of particles that are accelerated by super massive black holes at the hearts of galaxies, or from really gigantic stars that explode at the end of their lives that also produce a phenomenon we call gamma ray bursts, which also might accelerate particles to very high speeds and energies.

Where do cosmic rays come from, and what makes them the highest - energy particles in the universe?

The radiation might not come from radioactive materials on the planet itself, but rather from galactic cosmic rays (GCRs)-- high - energy particles that careen through the universe after being flung out of a supernova.

In addition, they found that in their model system with high energy and at small scale, the system was much more likely to return multiple particles upon sending in just one, than to come out with the initial particle and no more, which was a huge surprise.

Three hours later — just long enough for some of those particles to have decayed into neutrinos — an array of sensors buried in Antarctic ice, called IceCube, saw one of the highest - energy neutrinos ever detected coming from the direction of the galactic centre (Physical Review D, doi.org/v3p).

Wherever they come from, the highest - energy particles hold secrets to the origin of their enormous energies, many millions of times greater than any earthbound particle accelerator can create.

Orange and yellow come from particles of sodium in the air ionizing in the high energy of the spark gap.

The electron belt is on top of the proton belt, the so called van Allen belts, then there is the upper ionosphere which tends negative and the lower ionosphere that tends positive, and this coupling impact, and space particles attracted to opposing sings and a dance of high energy particles that come with O2 splitting and ozone level increases, namely toward the tropics, while the closing isobars bring particles to the poles... all mean that flaring has a HUGE electrical meaning.
