Effects of Cosmic Rays on Meteorites

  • Chapter
Kosmische Strahlung II / Cosmic Rays II

Part of the book series: Handbuch der Physik / Encyclopedia of Physics ((PHYSIK 9,volume 9 / 46 / 2))

Abstract

Cosmic rays and meteorites are two classes of material bodies that reach the earth from outer space. The study of their interactions has helped to increase our understanding of both.
