Scope

• Cosmic-ray physics and astrophysics form the journal's oldest core, covering the origin, acceleration and propagation of high-energy particles.宇宙线物理与天体物理是刊物最核心的传统领域，涵盖高能粒子的起源、加速与传播。
• Particle cosmology is covered, including cosmic abundances and Big Bang nucleosynthesis.粒子宇宙学在覆盖范围内，包括宇宙丰度与大爆炸核合成。
• Astrophysical counterparts such as supernovae and active galactic nuclei are treated as sources and laboratories for particle processes.超新星与活动星系核等天体物理对象被视为粒子过程的源与实验室。
• Dark matter is a standing topic, with both direct detection experiments and indirect searches.暗物质是常设主题，兼及直接探测实验与间接搜寻。
• Gravitational waves, gamma-ray astronomy and neutrino astronomy are named areas, the last including neutrino properties and double-beta decay.引力波、伽马射线天文学与中微子天文学均为明确列出的领域，后者还包括中微子性质与双贝塔衰变。
• Instrumentation and detector development are in scope, together with calibration, analysis and other methodological work that supports these fields.仪器与探测器研制也在范围之内，并包括支撑上述领域的定标、分析等方法学工作。

History

• Volume 1, Issue 1 appeared in November 1992, and the launch editorial argued that a new interdisciplinary field had outgrown the scattered outlets then available.第 1 卷第 1 期于 1992 年 11 月出版，创刊社论指出这一新兴交叉领域已超出当时分散的发表渠道。^[1]
