When cosmic rays hit the Earth’s atmosphere, their high-energy primary particles generate an “air shower” of secondary particles. These cascades of particles provide information on the physical properties of the primary particles, the origin of which has been studied by astrophysicists for generations. Measurements of LOFAR (Low Frequency Array), the biggest radio telescope worldwide, provide new findings on the mass and potential sources of the particles.
