On the origin of particle bursts observed by arrays of particle detectors

TL;DR

This paper investigates the origins of particle bursts observed by detector arrays, suggesting they result from electron acceleration during thunderstorms and large atmospheric showers.

Contribution

It provides a new explanation for particle bursts, linking them to atmospheric electron acceleration and gigantic terrestrial showers.

Findings

Particle bursts can be explained by electron acceleration in thunderstorms.

Gigantic atmospheric showers contribute to particle burst phenomena.

The study offers a new perspective on the origin of observed particle bursts.

Abstract

Analysis of the observational data and possible origination scenarios of particle bursts allows us to conclude that the bursts can be explained by the electron acceleration in the thunderous atmosphere and by gigantic showers developed in the terrestrial atmosphere.
