The great potential of this discipline offers impressive coverage of many "hot topics" of modern astrophysics and cosmology, such as the origin of galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays, particle acceleration and radiation processes under extreme astrophysical conditions, and the search for dark matter.Cosmic raysGamma ray astronomyCosmic rays.Gamma ray astronomy.522.6522.6862Aharonian Felix A621269MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812475103321Very high energy cosmic gamma radiation1101314UNINA
