LHAASO's High-precision Measurement of Helium Spectrum Above 0.1 PeV: New Clues to Origin of High-energy Cosmic Rays
Apr 02, 2026
Recently, the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) achieved a breakthrough in high-precision, element-resolved measurements of cosmic-ray spectra in the "knee" region. The LHAASO Collaboration has observed unexpected variations in the flux of helium nuclei in cosmic rays as a function of energy per nucleus, along with novel features in the evolution of cosmic ray abundance resulting from these variations.
