“…Prototypes were successfully flown in Antarctica in the last couple of years. Two different classes of experiments on balloons have been realized so far, the first searching for antimatter in CRs (Barwick et al 1997a;Boezio et al 2001;Wang et al 2002;Yoshida et al 2004) and the second aiming at the measure of the CR primary composition up to 100 TeV (Seo et al 2004;Chang et al 2008;Obermeier et al 2011).…”

A review is given of the main properties of the charged component of galactic cosmic rays, particles detected at Earth with an energy spanning from tens of MeV up to about 10 19 eV. After a short introduction to the topic and an historical overview, the properties of cosmic rays are discussed with respect to different energy ranges. The origin and the propagation of nuclei in the Galaxy are dealt with from a theoretical point of view. The mechanisms leading to the acceleration of nuclei by supernova remnants and to their subsequent diffusion through the inhomogeneities of the galactic magnetic field are discussed and some clue is given on the predictions and observations of fluxes of antimatter, both from astrophysical sources and from dark matter annihilation in the galactic halo. The experimental techniques and instrumentations employed for the detection of cosmic rays at Earth are described. Direct methods are viable up to 10 14 eV, by means of experiments flown on balloons or satellites, while above that energy, due to their very low flux, cosmic rays can be studied only indirectly by exploiting the particle cascades they produce in the atmosphere. The possible physical interpretation of the peculiar features observed in the energy spectrum of galactic cosmic rays, and in particular the so-called "knee" at about 4×10 15 eV, are discussed. A section is devoted to the region between about 10 18 and 10 19 eV, which is believed to host the transition between galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays. The conclusion gives some perspectives on the cosmic ray astrophysics field. Thanks to a wealth of different experiments, this research area is living a very flourishing era. The activity is exciting both from the theoretical and the instrumental sides, and its interconnection with astronomy, astrophysics and particle physics experiences non-stop growth.

“…29 He sang with a soft legato-like quality, imitating Guwadbu's voice on Berndt's recording, which features on the cassette Songs of Aboriginal Australia that accompanies an edited volume of the same name. 30 Warrabin's voice, by contrast, has a rougher, more strained timbre, perhaps following the vocal style of his father ("second singer" Gamulgiri). 31 In preparation for the performance at Amartjitpalk, Nangamu and Warrabin requested that Brown burn them a copy of Berndt's recordings of Guwadbu and Gamulgiri singing Marrwakara/Mularrik, so that they could listen to the old people, and refresh their memory of the songs.…”

This chapter examines the role of archival recordings as an aid to revive and maintain song and dance practices and connections to ancestry and Country associated with the living performance tradition manyardi in the region of Western Arnhem Land, Australia. Specifically, it addresses the questions: How do performance traditions such as manyardi from Western Arnhem Land materialise ancestral connections in the present? And how do archival recordings of songs inform and sustain the practice of manyardi and composition of new songs?
