The 44 pages that link to Cosmic ray, each with the reason it gives.

• Interstellar mediumBroader topic: They ionize interstellar gas and transfer energy through regions that starlight cannot penetrate.

• Electromagnetic radiationCompared with: Despite their name, cosmic rays are particles rather than electromagnetic waves.

• Ionizing radiationBroader topic: Cosmic rays are a natural source of energetic, ionizing particles.

• Solar windCompared with: The heliosphere and its solar wind modulate many incoming galactic cosmic rays.

• Relativistic jetRelated: Jet shocks and magnetic turbulence are candidate accelerators of the highest-energy cosmic rays.

• HadronRelated: Cosmic-ray collisions in the atmosphere generate extensive showers of hadrons.

• MuonNarrower topic: Cosmic-ray showers supplied the muons that first revealed the particle.

• Multi-messenger astronomyRelated: Their arrival directions and energies can connect particle acceleration to transient cosmic sources.

• IceCube Neutrino ObservatoryRelated: Their origins remain uncertain, and neutrinos can trace the same accelerators without magnetic deflection.

• Cloud chamberRelated: Cloud chambers captured tracks from cosmic rays and their atmospheric secondary particles.

• HeliosphereRelated: The heliosphere modulates how many galactic cosmic rays reach the inner Solar System.

• Carbon-14Related: They initiate atmospheric particle cascades that generate the neutrons needed to form carbon-14.

• Charged particleRelated: Most cosmic rays are charged, so magnetic fields alter their paths.

• Cosmogenic nuclide datingNarrower topic: Cosmic rays initiate the nuclear reactions that create dating nuclides.

• Geomagnetic reversalRelated: A weaker geomagnetic field allows more charged cosmic rays to approach Earth.

• Cassiopeia ARelated: Cassiopeia A’s shocks are studied as potential accelerators of cosmic-ray particles.

• Interstellar magnetic fieldRelated: Cosmic rays are guided by interstellar magnetic fields and can contribute pressure to the gas.

• Walter HeitlerRelated: Heitler investigated how these particles generate cascades of secondary particles in matter.

• Cosmogenic nuclideRelated: Primary and secondary cosmic rays supply the particles that generate cosmogenic nuclides.

• Interplanetary magnetic fieldRelated: The interplanetary field guides and scatters their paths through the heliosphere.

• Robert MillikanRelated: Millikan studied their origins and promoted the name “cosmic rays.”

• Tarantula NebulaRelated: The region's intense star formation and supernova activity make it a site for studying particle acceleration.
