Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays: origin of these mysterious particles

Since their discovery in the early 20th century, cosmic rays fascinate both by their nature and by the incredible energy they carry. These extragalactic particles, traveling through the universe at speeds close to that of light, reach extreme energies that challenge the capabilities of accelerators built on Earth. This natural phenomenon raises fundamental questions in … Read more

Supersymmetry and cosmic particles

In the rapidly expanding field of high-energy physics, supersymmetry stands out as a revolutionary approach aimed at surpassing the limits of the standard model. This theory proposes that every fundamental particle, whether a fermion or a boson, has a supersymmetric partner whose spin differs by half a unit. Moreover, recent advancements in the detection of … Read more
