标题： Cosmic Rays: High Energy Particle Interactions in the Atmosphere -- Memorial Issue for Prof. Dr. Thomas K. Gaisser (Editorial)

摘要： 这一期《天体粒子物理》期刊是为纪念托马斯·科夫·盖塞尔而出版的，他是特拉华大学物理学荣誉退休教授。 汤姆是宇宙射线和天体粒子物理领域最杰出的科学家之一，也是本期刊的创始编辑之一。 他原本是一名理论粒子物理学家，将职业生涯致力于宇宙射线物理研究。 他研究了大气中高能粒子相互作用的实验现象，对广延大气簇射进行了建模，包括描述其纵向分布的著名“盖塞尔-希尔拉斯”函数。 他的工作重点是宇宙射线簇射在大气中产生的μ子和中微子通量，以及利用南极的专用实验对其进行测量。 显示英文摘要

摘要： This special issue of the Astroparticle Physics journal is dedicated to the memory of Thomas Korff Gaisser, the Martin A. Pomerantz Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Delaware. Tom was one of the most prominent scientists in cosmic-ray and astroparticle physics, and also one of the founding editors of this very journal. A theoretical particle physicist by training, he dedicated his career to cosmic-ray physics. He worked on the phenomenology of high-energy particle interactions in the atmosphere, modeling extensive air showers, including the famous 'Gaisser-Hillas' function describing their longitudinal profile. A focus of his work were muon and neutrino fluxes resulting from cosmic-ray showers in the atmosphere, and their measurement with specialized experiments at the South Pole.
