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 ... More

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 ... More

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 ... More
