text: Most cosmic rays are protons that are the nuclei of hydrogen atoms.
text: If those cosmic rays are protons, which they are most of the time, they are traveling at speeds between 45% and 99.6% of the speed of light.
text: Cosmic rays are very high energy particles like electrons, protons and more massive nuclei which are accelerated by cosmic objects like supernova and the strong electromagnetic fields they produce.
text: After the flux suppression was established, a heated debate ensued whether cosmic rays that violate the GZK limit are protons.
text: These cosmic "rays" are mostly protons with a few alpha particles and some token electrons.
text: Are they protons, electrons, or something else?
text: Observations suggest that at the highest energies, there are very few heavier nuclei, and the cosmic rays are mostly protons.
text: But cosmic rays are mostly protons, which are a form of particulate radiation.
text: Most cosmic rays are protons which are abundant in the universe.
text: Cosmic rays are known to be mostly protons or atomic nuclei.
text: Most frequently, cosmic rays are protons, but a handful are heavier ions and a few are even humble electrons.
text: There are also cosmic rays, which are not massless bits of energy, like photons; instead, cosmic rays are elementary particles such as electrons, protons, and simple nuclei of hydrogen and helium.
text: Cosmic rays are very high energy particles like electrons, protons and more massive nuclei which are accelerated by cosmic objects like supernova and the strong electromagnetic fields they produce.
text: One possibility is cosmic rays: high-energy particles – mostly protons – that whiz around space.
text: Most cosmic rays are protons, which are abundant in the universe.
text: Cosmic rays are a bit of a misnomer since they are actually high energy particles like protons or alpha particles traveling at relativistic speeds (matter), not electromagnetic radiation (energy), so they don't have a canonical frequency range such as, for example, visible light, x-rays, gamma rays, and so forth.
text: Cosmic rays are high energy particles (protons and helium nuclei) accelerated to near-light speed by distant supernovas and black holes.
text: Cosmic rays are electrically charged particles, such as protons, that strike Earth from all directions, with energies up to one hundred million times higher than those created in man-made accelerators.
text: Discovered in 1912, cosmic rays are not actually rays at all; they are subatomic particles and ions (such as protons and electrons) that zip through space in all directions at near-light speed, with energies tens of thousands of times greater than particles produced in Earth’s largest particle accelerators.
text: Fermi's LAT detects GeV gamma rays (magenta) produced when the gas is bombarded by cosmic rays, primarily protons.
