Cosmic Ray Simulator

A Cosmic Ray Simulator is a research tool that mimics the high-energy particles from space, called cosmic rays, which constantly bombard Earth. It uses advanced technology to generate particle streams that replicate cosmic ray properties, allowing scientists to study their effects on materials, electronics, and the atmosphere without the need to go into space. This helps improve understanding of cosmic radiation's impact on satellites, aircraft, and human health, and assists in developing protective measures to mitigate their potential hazards.
