Cosmic Ray Physics: An Introduction to The Cosmic Laboratory
暫譯: 宇宙射線物理學：宇宙實驗室入門

這本書將帶您了解宇宙射線的物理學，這些帶電粒子來自已知的，或可能是未知的宇宙來源。

Veronica Bindi is Full Professor and Chair of the Physics and Astronomy Department of the University of Hawaii at Manoa (USA). For more than 10 years, she has been part of the team at CERN (Switzerland) that led the construction, integration and operation of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) installed on the International Space Station on May 2011 to search for dark matter and study galactic cosmic rays. She is working on AMS data analysis with a particular focus on solar modulation, heliophysics and space radiation. She has received a National Science Foundation career award and a grant from NASA supporting future manned missions to Mars.

Mercedes Paniccia is Senior Research Associate at University of Geneva (Switzerland). She is member of the AMS Collaboration since 2003. She has contributed to the construction of the silicon tracker, to the calibration and the commissioning of the electromagnetic calorimeter, to the operation of the AMS detector, and to data reconstruction and analysis. Since 2017, she leads the AMS data analysis group at University of Geneva whose research focuses on the measurement of cosmic-ray nuclei fluxes and isotopic composition of light nuclei, with the aim of studying the propagation mechanism of cosmic rays in the galaxy.

Martin Pohl is professor emeritus at University of Geneva (Switzerland). He has been working on experimental particle physics at colliders before turning to astroparticle physics in space. He was the head of the University of Geneva group for AMS until his retirement in 2017. He is the author of a textbook on particle physics, as well as the main author of two introductory online courses on the same subject (Coursera). He has recently published "Particles, Fields, Space-Time: From Thomson's Electron to Higgs' Boson" (CRC Press, 2020).

維羅妮卡·賓迪是夏威夷大學馬諾阿分校（美國）物理與天文學系的全職教授及系主任。她在CERN（瑞士）工作超過10年，參與了阿爾法磁譜儀（AMS）的建設、整合和運行，該儀器於2011年5月安裝在國際空間站上，旨在尋找暗物質並研究銀河宇宙射線。她專注於AMS數據分析，特別是太陽調制、日光物理學和太空輻射。她獲得了國家科學基金會的職業獎勵以及來自NASA的資助，以支持未來的載人火星任務。

梅賽德斯·帕尼西亞是日內瓦大學（瑞士）的高級研究助理。自2003年以來，她一直是AMS合作組織的成員。她參與了矽追蹤器的建設、電磁量測儀的校準和調試、AMS探測器的運行，以及數據重建和分析。自2017年以來，她領導日內瓦大學的AMS數據分析小組，該小組的研究重點是測量宇宙射線核通量和輕核的同位素組成，旨在研究宇宙射線在銀河中的傳播機制。

馬丁·波爾是日內瓦大學（瑞士）的名譽教授。他在轉向太空天體粒子物理學之前，曾在對撞機上從事實驗粒子物理學的研究。他在2017年退休之前是日內瓦大學AMS小組的負責人。他是一本粒子物理學教科書的作者，也是兩門同主題的入門在線課程（Coursera）的主要作者。最近，他出版了《粒子、場、時空：從湯姆森的電子到希格斯玻色子》（CRC Press, 2020）。
