Recent progress in cosmic ray physics

J. J. Quenby

Abstract

This article outlines the state of cosmic ray physics, as at the August 1973 International Cosmic Ray Conference. It deals with geophysical effects, solar modulation of the cosmic ray flux, the source of energetic solar particles and their energy, and cosmic rays from galactic sources; and concludes with an account of the relationships between cosmic ray work and accelerator physics.
