New windows to the high energy Universe
In 1912 Viktor Hess discovered cosmic rays, a high energy particle radiation from our Universe with energies reaching far beyond what is achievable with manmade accelerators. With this discovery Viktor Hess opened a window to the most violent processes in our Universe, the so called high energy Universe. But even after several decades of intensive research the sources of cosmic rays are still unknown. Just recently a new generation of experiments - measuring high energy protons and gamma-rays and searching for high energy neutrinos - started to shed light on the nearly a century old mystery of the sources of cosmic rays.
