OB Associations, Wolf-Rayet Stars, and the Origin of Galactic Cosmic Rays (2007)

Binns, W. R., Wiedenbeck, M. E., Arnould, M., Cummings, A. C., De Nolfo, G. A., Goriely, S., ...

We have measured the isotopic abundances of neon and a number of other species in the galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) using the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) aboard the ACE spacecraft. Our data...

Besson, D., Jenkins, J., Matsuno, S., Nam, J., Smith, M., Barwick, S. W., ...

Radiowave detection of the Cherenkov radiation produced by neutrino-ice collisions requires an understanding of the radiofrequency (RF) response of cold polar ice. We herein report on a series of...

Binns, W. R., Wiedenbeck, M. E., Arnould, M., Cummings, A. C., George, J. S., Goriely, S., ...

The abundances of neon and several other isotopic ratios in the galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) have been measured using data from the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) aboard the Advanced...

Observations of the Li, Be, and B isotopes and constraints on cosmic-ray propagation (2006)

De Nolfo, G. A., Moskalenko, I. V., Binns, W. R., Christian, E. R., Cummings, A. C., Davis, A. J., ...

The abundance of Li, Be, and B isotopes in galactic cosmic rays (GCR) between E=50-200 MeV/nucleon has been observed by the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) on NASA's ACE mission since 1997...

Observations of the Askaryan Effect in Ice (2006)

Barwick, S. W., Beatty, J. J., Besson, D. Z., Binns, W. R., Chen, C., ...

We report on the first observations of the Askaryan effect in ice: coherent impulsive radio Cherenkov radiation from the charge asymmetry in an electromagnetic (EM) shower. Such radiation has been...

Constraints on cosmic neutrino fluxes from the Antarctic impulsive transient antenna experiment (2006)

Barwick, S.W., Beatty, J.J., Besson, D.Z., Binns, W.R., Cai, B., Clem, J.M., ...

We report new limits on cosmic neutrino fluxes from the test flight of the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment, which completed an 18.4 day flight of a prototype long-duration...

Constraints on Cosmic Neutrino Fluxes from the ANITA Experiment (2005)

Beatty, J. J., Besson, D. Z., Binns, W. R., Cai, B., Clem, J. M., ...

We report new limits on cosmic neutrino fluxes from the test flight of the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment, which completed an 18.4 day flight of a prototype long-duration...

Cosmic ray neon, Wolf-Rayet stars, and the superbubble origin of galactic cosmic rays (2005)

Binns, W. R., Wiedenbeck, M. E., Arnould, M., Cummings, A. C., George, J. S., Goriely, S., ...

The abundances of neon isotopes in the galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) are reported using data from the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) aboard the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE). We compare...

Tuning into UHE Neutrinos in Antarctica - The ANITA Experiment (2005)

Miocinovic, P., Barwick, S. W., Beatty, J. J., Besson, D. Z., Binns, W. R., Cai, B., ...

The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment is being developed to search for ultra-high-energy (UHE) neutrino interactions ($>3\times10^{18}$ eV) in the Antarctic ice cap. A neutrino...

Status of ANITA and ANITA-lite (2004)

Silvestri, A., Barwick, S. W., Beatty, J. J., Besson, D. Z., Binns, W. R., Cai, B., ...

We describe a new experiment to search for neutrinos with energies above 3 x 10^18 eV based on the observation of short duration radio pulses that are emitted from neutrino-initiated cascades. The...

The isotopic composition of cosmic-ray calcium (2004)

Wiedenbeck, M. E., George, J. S., Binns, W. R., Christian, E. R., Cummings, A. C., Davis, A. J., ...

We find that the relative abundance of cosmic ray calcium isotopes in the cosmic-ray source are very similar to those found in solar-system material, in spite of the fact that different types of...

Wiedenbeck, M. E., Binns, W. R., Christian, E. R., Cummings, A. C., Davis, A. J., George, J. S., ...

We suggest that cosmic rays probably represent a sample of contemporary interstellar matter, at least for refractory species.
