The Pierre Auger Observatory is the world's largest experiment for the measurement of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). These UHECRs are assumed to be to be charged particles, and thus are deflected in cosmic magnetic fields. Recent results of the Pierre Auger Observatory addressing the complex of energy ordering of the UHECRs arrival directions are reviewed in this contribution. So far no significant energy ordering has been observed.

The pseudorapidity distribution of relativistic singly charged particles produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions is described by the thermalized cylinder picture. The calculated results are in agreement with the experimental data of lead-induced interactions at 158A GeV/c. PACS Nos.:25.75.-q and 25.75.Dw

Pseudorapidity Distributions

By using the revised Landau hydrodynamic model and taking into account the effect of leading particles, we discuss the pseudorapidity distributions of produced charged particles in high energy heavy-ion collisions. The charged particles resulted from the freeze-out of the matter produced in collisions possess the Gaussian-like rapidity distributions. The leading particles are assumed having the rapidity distributions of the Gaussian form with the normalization constant being equal to the number of participants, which can be figured out in theory. It is found that the results from the revised Landau hydrodynamic model together with the contributions from leading particles are well consistent with the experimental data carried out by BNL-RHIC-PHOBOS Collaboration in different centrality Au + Au collisions at energies of [Formula: see text], 130 and 62.4 GeV , respectively.

Excitation Mechanisms

The cause of the emission of the negative band system of nitrogen from the upper atmosphere during twilight is investigated. A study is made of the two possible excitation mechanisms, N 2 ( X 1 Ʃ g + ) + hv →N 2 + ( B 2 Ʃ u + ) + e and N 2 + ( X 2 Ʃ g + ) + hv →N 2 + ( B 2 Ʃ u + ). It is shown that the latter is far more effective than the former, irrespective of the assumptions adopted regarding the solar flux in the unobservable spectral region. From the transition probability associated with it (which is evaluated in the appendix) combined with various intensity estimates, an upper limit is obtained for the number of N 2 + ions normally present in the E and F layers during twilight. It appears that N 2 + ions form but a minute fraction of the total ion content. The significance of this in the theory of the formation of the ionized layers is discussed. The simplest interpretation is that ionization of molecular nitrogen is unimportant; and a reasonable scheme that invokes only the ionization of oxygen atoms and molecules is available. However, by introducing certain arbitrary assumptions a more elaborate interpretation is conceivable so that the view that the E layer arises from the action of high-energy coronal photons, which ionize all atmospheric constituents, cannot be finally rejected. Various aspects of the layers are discussed, and observational and experimental work, which might yield evidence on the ionization mechanisms operative, is suggested. It is pointed out that the remarkable rarity of N 2 + ions proves conclusively that recombination between the charged particles present in the ionosphere cannot be the origin of the nocturnal radiation of the nitrogen band systems. On some occasions the resonance emission at twilight is of unusually high intensity. It is presumed that this is due to incident charged particles increasing the concentration of N 2 + ions. The possible contribution that these charged particles may make to the night-sky light by direct excitation collisions is briefly examined. Sunlit aurorae (which are essentially similar to the twilight flash) are also discussed.

Cosmic Origin

Astroparticle physics deals with the investigation of cosmic radiation using similar detection methods as in particle physics, however, mostly with quite different detector arrangements. In this chapter the detection principles for the different radiation types with cosmic origin are presented, this includes charged particles, gamma radiation, neutrinos and possibly existing Dark Matter. In the case of neutrinos also experiments at accelerators and reactors are included. Examples, which are typical for the different areas, are given for detectors and their properties. For cosmic ray detection apparatuses are deployed above the atmosphere with balloons or satellites or on the ground using the atmosphere as calorimeter in which high-energy cosmic rays develop showers or in underground areas including in water and ice.

With many applications in high-energy physics, Deep Learning or Deep Neural Network (DNN) has become noticeable and practical in recent years. In this article, a new technique is presented for modeling the charged particles multiplicity distribution [Formula: see text] of Proton-Proton [Formula: see text] collisions using an efficient DNN model. The charged particles multiplicity n, the total center of mass energy [Formula: see text], and the pseudorapidity [Formula: see text] used as input in DNN model and the desired output is [Formula: see text]. DNN was trained to build a function, which studies the relationship between [Formula: see text]. The DNN model showed a high degree of consistency in matching the data distributions. The DNN model is used to predict with [Formula: see text] not included in the training set. The expected [Formula: see text] had effectively merged the experimental data and the values expected indicate a strong agreement with Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for ATLAS measurement at [Formula: see text], 7 and 8 TeV.
