Journal: arXiv (Cornell University)
Year: 2022

This article is an attempt to review 50 years of high-energy cosmic particle physics at the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is written by an outsider whose scientific career, to a large part, was formed by collaborating with INR scientists in the late 1980s and 1990s. The review covers the fields of cosmic-ray, gamma-ray and high-energy neutrino physics. The main focus will be on INR's large infrastructures in the Baksan Valley and at Lake Baikal. Research a
