From Ultra Rays to Astroparticles : A Historical Introduction to Astroparticle Physics

The book is a historical introduction to astroparticle physics. Its scope is to give an overview of this complex field of research, starting with the discovery of cosmic rays (Victor Hess, 1912) until the current experiments with particle telescopes.The book focuses on the ways in which physics chan...
