CORSIKA 8 -- Contributions to the 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference in Berlin Germany (ICRC 2021)
Jean-Marco Alameddine, Johannes Albrecht, Jaime Alvarez-Muniz +39
Compilation of the six contributions to the ICRC conference 2021 by the CORSIKA 8 Collaboration. The status of the project is illustrated. In particular, the secondary hadron as we…
Polarized muons and the origin of biological homochirality
Noemie Globus, Roger D. Blandford, Anatoli Fedynitch
While biologists have not yet reached a consensus on the definition of life, homochirality - the specific molecular handedness of biomolecules - is a phenomenon only produced by li…
On the Accuracy of Underground Muon Intensity Calculations
Anatoli Fedynitch, William Woodley, Marie-Cecile Piro
Cosmic ray muons detected by deep underground and underwater detectors have served as an information source on the high-energy cosmic ray spectrum and hadronic interactions in air…
The Muon Puzzle in cosmic-ray induced air showers and its connection to the Large Hadron Collider
Johannes Albrecht, Lorenzo Cazon, Hans Dembinski +8
High-energy cosmic rays are observed indirectly by detecting the extensive air showers initiated in Earth's atmosphere. The interpretation of these observations relies on accurate…
Polarized radiation and the Emergence of Biological Homochirality on Earth and Beyond
Noemie Globus, Anatoli Fedynitch, Roger D. Blandford
It has been proposed that spin-polarized cosmic radiation can induce asymmetric changes in helical biopolymers that may account for the emergence of biological homochirality. The p…
