Cosmic rays are high-energy charged particles. High in the atmosphere, when they strike the atmospheric molecules they create a 'shower' of elementary particles that can reach the Earth's surface. These showers can be measured from the radio emission that is generated when their constituent particles are deflected by the magnetic field of the Earth. The radio emission also gives information about the nature and origin of the particles, and that is exactly what Prof.
