With the second configuration enclosed in a lead box, the results showed that some cosmic rays interact in lead to produce multiple secondary particles.
Cosmogenic isotopes are rare isotopes created when a high-energy cosmic ray interacts with the nucleus of an atom.
These Ultra-high-energy cosmic ray, or UHECRs, interact with the atmosphere to produce large showers of secondary particles at the surface of the Earth.
Perhaps a stray cosmic ray interacted with the synapses of my brain while I was working on Rackle's weapon.
When a high-energy (TeV) gamma photon or cosmic ray interacts with the Earth's atmosphere, it may produce an electron-positron pair with enormous velocities.
The tiny rays glancing off the atoms would interact with one another, creating an "interference pattern" on a piece of film.
Come early afternoon, he said, the sun's rays interact chemically with the gases in the air, increasing their toxicity.
When cosmic rays interact with the atmosphere, atomic interactions occur which cause a shower of lower energy particles to descend deeper into the atmosphere and to ground level.
Shading complexity: Much of the visual complexity in a scene is generated by the way in which light rays interact with solid object surfaces.
The rays will then pass through a truck, shipping container or suitcase and interact with nitrogen or chlorine, common elements in explosives.
