LHAASO uncovers mystery of cosmic ray "knee" formation

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Milestone results released by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) on November 16 have solved a decades-old mystery about the cosmic ray energy spectrum—which shows a sharp decrease in cosmic rays above 3 PeV, giving it an unusual knee-like shape.

Peer-Reviewed Publication

Imbuing light with "structure" adds complexity, mixing properties in exotic ways. In parallel, machine intelligence based on complex deep neural networks complexity for its learning, mimicking the complex connections of neurons in the brain. Now researchers have shown the exciting benefits at the interface of the two, from machines unravelling complexity in light, to optical systems enabling ultrafast learning machines. This symbiotic relationship is set to drive a new revolution in photonics.
