Introduction

Cosmic rays are energetic particles that reach Earth from space and provide an important natural source of information for particle physics and astrophysics. Their study contributes to investigations of particle interactions at energies that can extend beyond the direct reach of some terrestrial accelerator experiments. Cosmic-ray observatories use complementary detector systems to measure particle showers and related physical quantities, supporting studies of particle composition, energy spectra, arrival directions, and interactions in the atmosphere.
