I was always told that cosmic rays were primarily alpha particles ejected from the sun, but when I looked up the EM spectrum there was a notation at the high end for cosmic rays. I'm going to guess that "cosmic rays" represents general background space radiation, and therefore contains both.

Actually the longer the wavelength, the greater the penetrating power. Cosmic rays penetrate because the are particles, not EM radiation. The shorter wavelengths have a stronger effect because they carry more energy.Mike Carrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Are you sure that they are particles? I've always assumed that they were photons which behaved as both particles and waves, but you know what happens when you assume, Once I determine what frequencies I'm dealing with, I can get the Tempest protocols and read them.
