High energy emissions from thunderstorms: HEETs, from photons to neutrons toward the ground
Thunderstorms are the starting point of several intense phenomena such as gamma rays and X rays, neutron, positron and electron emissions. The X rays and gamma rays have energies that may reach 100 MeV. The neutron emissions may be created by energetic gamma ray photons interacting with the air via...
