{wiki=Category:Cosmic-ray_experiments}
Cosmic-ray experiments are scientific investigations that focus on the detection, measurement, and analysis of cosmic rays—high-energy particles that originate from outer space and travel through the Earth's atmosphere. These particles primarily consist of protons, but can also include heavier atomic nuclei, electrons, and gamma rays. Cosmic rays can provide important information about astrophysical phenomena, the composition of the universe, and fundamental physics.
