CERN’s CLOUD Experiment Hopes to Discover What Cosmic Rays Can Tell Us About Climate
The Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets, CLOUD, experiment is all about studying if there is a link between galactic cosmic rays and cloud formation, and determine what that link, if it exists, means. via NPR
The CLOUD experiment involves an interdisciplinary team of scientists from 17 institutes in nine countries, comprising atmospheric physicists and chemists, and cosmic-ray and particle physicists. The Proton Synchrotron provides an artificial source of “cosmic rays” that simulates natural conditions between ground level and the stratosphere. A beam of particles is passed through the cloud chamber and its effects on aerosol production or on liquid or ice clouds inside the chamber are recorded and analysed.
