After 100 Years, Scientists Uncover Hidden Rule Governing Cosmic Rays
TL;DR AI
1 min readKey summary
DAMPE observations show protons through iron all share a sharp cosmic-ray spectrum change near 15 TV rigidity.
The finding supports rigidity-based models and weakens explanations based on energy per nucleon.
It gives researchers a stronger rule for how cosmic rays are accelerated and travel through the galaxy.
