High altitude balloon-borne experiments have been a part of Cosmic Ray Research
almost from the inception of the field. Major advances have been, and continue to
be, made with balloon missions, due both to improvements in instrumentation and to
advances in balloon technology and operational techniques. Today we can fly nearly
two ton cosmic ray payloads for periods up to 4-6 weeks at altitud

The Sun provides unique opportunities for studying particle acceleration mechanisms
from Earth. Particles may be accelerated to high energies by the first-order Fermi
acceleration, by second-order Fermi acceleration, or by DC acceleration.
Differentiating between these possibilities is a fundamental problem of cosmic ray
physics.
In this talk, a brief summary of past solar neutron events th

Since the last cosmic ray meeting we have witnessed the commissioning of a suite of
experiments that have the possibility to detect neutrinos from sources beyond the
sun. They will open a window on the Universe spanning from sub-TeV energy to energies
beyond EeV. We anticipate the observation of supernova remnants at the lowest
energies, provided that these are indeed the sources of the galact
