So these monopoles could well turn up in our particle acceleratorsor in the decay products of cosmic ray collisions in the upper atmosphere.

所以这些单极在粒子加速器里或者在高空大气宇宙射线的碰撞过程中可能会被找到。

To the electron, the corresponding system is the positron, which was observed after the prediction in cosmic ray experiments by Anderson in 1932.

对电子来说，与其相对应的是正电子，后者被安德森于1932年在宇宙射线实验中发现。

But the flood of more visible cosmic -ray data makes it difficult to pick them out.

He also finds that wobbles in the earth's temperature have followed those in the cosmic-ray flux for the past 60-odd years.

They compared the cosmic-ray flux with the proportion of the world's skies obscured by cloud, a figure that has been available from satellite photographs since 1979.
