Publisher: arXiv.org 2008
Number of pages: 82
Description:
I give a concise introduction into high energy cosmic ray physics, including also few related aspects of high energy gamma-ray and neutrino astrophysics. The main emphasis is placed on astrophysical questions, and the level of the presentation is kept basic.

![Book cover: Special Functions: Fractional Calculus and the Pathway for Entropy](images/11807.jpg)
by Hans J. Haubold (ed.) - MDPI AG
The notion of entropy emerged in conceptually very distinct contexts. This book deals with the connection between entropy, probability, and fractional dynamics as they appeared, for example, in solar neutrino astrophysics since the 1970's.
