Book Description
Extensive air showers are a very unique phenomenon. In the more than six decades since their discovery by Auger and collaborators we have learned a lot about these extremely energetic events and gained deep insight into high-energy phenomena, particle physics and astrophysics. In this Tutorial, Reference Manual and Data Book Peter K. F. Grieder provides the reader with a comprehensive view of the phenomenology and facts of the various types of interactions and cascades, theoretical background, experimental methods, data evaluation and interpretation and air shower simulation. He discusses astrophysical aspects of the primary radiation and addresses remaining puzzling questions that cannot yet be answered. They remain as a challenge for present and future research in the field. The book is split into two volumes. Volume I deals mainly with the basic theoretical framework of the processes that determine an air shower and ends with a summary of ways and means to extract information from air shower observations on the primary radiation. It also presents a compilation of data of our current knowledge of the high energy portion of the primary spectrum and composition. Volume II contains mainly compilations of data of experimental and theoretical nature as well as predictions from simulations of individual air shower constituents. Also included are chapters dedicated exclusively to special processes and detection methods. Extensive up-to-date reference lists appear at the end of each chapter. Researchers and students working in the field of cosmic ray detection and astroparticle physics will appreciate finding this book in their library.

The Showers
Author: Dylan Sindelar
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781728604237
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
It's more than just an urban legend... Jack's former English teacher, Mr. Mays, told a scary story every Halloween. It was about a place out in rural Nebraska--a building he called "The Showers"--and the supernatural horrors there that threatened to consume him. Now that school is long over, Jack wonders if there isn't more to the infamous tale. Curiosity leads him on a hunt for the mysterious building, and what begins as a road trip quickly spirals out of control. Maybe The Showers is a real place. And maybe, it's more than just a story. Dylan Sindelar's debut novella comes to you revised and expanded from its original appearance on Reddit /r/nosleep, where it was awarded "Scariest of the Year" by the board. Since then, its initial parts have appeared on the award winning NoSleep Podcast, and the story continues to terrify readers and listeners alike. This new edition features the complete story as it has never appeared before--rewritten and further developed by the author. Look no further for your Halloween reading. The Showers is more than just a ghost story; it's an exploration into mental illness, and the things we use to hide from our inner-demons. Sindelar's horror has a human pulse--building dread with each tick as the clock counts down to the ultimate conclusion. Will Jack manage to look evil straight in the eyes? Will he escape his own undoing? One thing is for certain: nothing can prepare him for what's ahead... "He told us how the bulb flickered to life and cast a dim light on the group of people in front of him. He could see children--at least twenty of them--all dressed in nightgowns that were tattered, torn, and stained dark with mud or something worse. Their bodies and faces were nearly obscured by their long and matted down hair. Not a single one of them appeared to have seen a shower or nice bath in their entire life. "Mr. Mays told the class that the most terrifying aspect of the entire situation was that not a single child moved an inch. They all stood staring, most of them only visible from the light reflecting off of their eyes. The group was collectively paralyzed with fear when they heard what sounded like an animal in the distance yelping. The sound morphed slowly into something resembling the dying cries of a larger beast--wounded and pleading in the darkness. Despite being unable to determine the full size of the room from the lack of light, he said that the noise filled the space so fully that the creature at the source of the sound would have needed to be impossibly large in order to conjure such a cry. This spurred the group into desperate action as the children began to step towards them. Mr. Mays' friends grabbed their injured comrade and lifted him out of the room and into the tunnel as quickly as they could. Mr. Mays took another moment to move and had difficulty finding his bearings. He reached to his left in an attempt to find a wall to lean against, eventually grasping a handle and pulling on it hard, never taking his eyes off of the children..."

Book Description
From the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wayward Son, Fangirl, Carry On, and Landline comes a hilarious and heartfelt novel about an office romance that blossoms one email at a time.... Beth Fremont and Jennifer Scribner-Snyder know that somebody is monitoring their work e-mail. (Everybody in the newsroom knows. It's company policy.) But they can't quite bring themselves to take it seriously. They go on sending each other endless and endlessly hilarious e-mails, discussing every aspect of their personal lives. Meanwhile, Lincoln O'Neill can't believe this is his job now—reading other people's e-mail. When he applied to be “internet security officer,” he pictured himself building firewalls and crushing hackers—not writing up a report every time a sports reporter forwards a dirty joke. When Lincoln comes across Beth's and Jennifer's messages, he knows he should turn them in. He can't help being entertained, and captivated, by their stories. But by the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late to introduce himself. What would he even say...?
