Extensive Air Showers High Energy Phenomena and Astrophysical Aspects A Tutorial, Reference Manual and Data Book /
Extensive air showers are a very unique phenomenon. In the more than six decades since their discovery by Auger et al. we have learned a great deal about these extremely energetic events and gained deep insights into high-energy phenomena, particle physics and astrophysics. In this Tutorial, Referen...
