Summary

Cosmic rays are those accelerated subatomic particles of unknown origin constantly showering the Earth and whose energy for some of them equates that of a shotgun bullet. The film is a short overview of current detectors and research paths for the years to come.
A longer version of this film entitled “Radio cosmic” is available.
