What is astroparticle physics?

Astroparticle physics is a branch of science that explores the interplay between particle physics and astrophysics. It investigates the cosmic messengers such as neutrinos, cosmic rays, and gamma rays, and studies their behavior in extraterrestrial environments. By detecting and analyzing these particles, astroparticle physicists can study the properties of the cosmos that are inaccessible through conventional astronomical methods. This field of science aims to answer fundamental questions about the universe, its origins, and its composition, and is an interdisciplinary field that includes physicists, astronomers, and cosmologists.
