    Detection of anisotropy in the cosmic blackbody radiation (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Anisotropy has been detected in the cosmic blackbody radiation with a 33-GHz (0.9 cm) twin-antenna Dicke radiometer flown to an altitude of 20 km aboard a U-2 aircraft. In data distributed over two-thirds of the Northern Hemisphere, an anisotropy is observed, which is well fitted by a first-order spherical harmonic with an amplitude of (3.5 plus or minus 0.6) x 10 to the -3rd deg K, and direction 11.0 plus or minus 0.6 h right ascension and 6 plus or minus 10 deg declination. This observation is readily interpreted as due to motion of the earth relative to the radiation with a velocity of 390 plus or minus 60 km/sec.

    Southern Hemisphere measurements of the anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation (1979)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A recent airborne measurement of the large-angular-scale anisotropy in the cosmic background radiation from the Southern Hemisphere (Lima, Peru) is in essential agreement with previous measurements from the northern hemisphere. The net anisotropy from the combined data can be described by a first-order spherical harmonic (Doppler) anisotropy of amplitude 3.1 plus or minus 0.4 mK with a quadrupole component of less than 1 mK. Additional ground-based measurements of the linear polarization yield an upper limit of l mK, or one part in 3000, at 95% confidence level for the amplitudes of any spherical harmonic through third order.

    Measurement of primary cosmic-ray electrons and positrons from 4 to 50 GeV (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: We have used a bremsstrahlung-identification technique to measure electron and positron spectra in the primary cosmic rays from 4 to 50 GeV. Above our average geomagnetic cutoff of 4.0 GV/c, we find fluxes of 4.4 (plus or minus 0.3) electrons and 0.37 (plus or minus 0.09 positrons) per sq m/sr/sec. The electron events follow a differential power law whose spectral index is 2.8 (plus or minus 0.1). Our ratio electrons/(electrons + positrons) = 0.08 (plus or minus 0.02) implies traversal of an equivalent slab thickness of 4.3 (plus or minus 1.5) g/sq cm of interstellar and source material.

    Search for cosmic-ray antimatter (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: It appears probable that some fraction of the cosmic rays has extragalactic origin. A search for antimatter nuclei was conducted with the aid of a balloon-borne superconducting magnetic spectrometer. The investigation made use of the fact that matter and antimatter nuclei, because of their opposite signs of charge, would be deflected in opposite directions when passing through a magnetic field. The antimatter flux limits set by the experiments are discussed.

    Abundances and spectra for cosmic-ray nuclei from lithium to iron for 2 to 150 GeV per nucleon (1978)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Measurements of primary cosmic-ray composition and energy spectra made with a balloon-borne superconducting magnetic spectrometer are described. Results for both 6.7 g/sq cm equivalent vertical atmospheric depth and the top of the atmosphere are presented for the absolute and relative integral abundances, the differential energy spectra, and the spectral indices for cosmic-ray nuclei from Li to Fe and energies of 2 to 50 GeV/n. It is found that propagation effects can explain essentially all the elemental abundances, that the abundances of Li, Be, and B for rigidities below 10 GV/c are consistent with an energy-independent mean interstellar path length of 4.5 + or - 0.5 g/sq cm for the 'leaky box' propagation model, that the abundances of all elements above 10 GV/c are consistent with a path length that decreases as the inverse n-th power of rigidity, and that n equals 0.6 (+0.4, -0.3) for the simplest assumptions made in fitting the source spectra.
