DAMPE Satellite Unveils New Insights into the Origins of Cosmic Rays

A Century of Cosmic Mysteries: DAMPE’s Breakthrough in Understanding Cosmic Ray Origins Cosmic rays, a phenomenon that has intrigued scientists for over a hundred years, continue to unveil the mysteries of high-energy particles traveling across the universe. These particles, originating from extreme astrophysical events, bombard Earth incessantly, carrying clues about the distant cosmos. A major leap forward has now been achieved by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) space telescope, an international collaboration including the University of Geneva (UNIGE). By scrutinizing the energy spectra of key cosmic ray nuclei, DAMPE has uncovered a universal feature, shedding new light on cosmic ray acceleration and propagation.
