• Resumen:
  "Cosmic Rays" is the name given to the radiation that comes from outer space and constantly strikes the Earth's atmosphere. They have their origin in some of the most violent and bizarre phenomena in the cosmos, such as supernovae or black holes. The study of cosmic rays is becoming a research field of great interest in many areas, especially outside astrophysics and particle physics. The objective of this thesis is to find innovative ways to investigate the everyday, bringing cosmic-ray research to a much more mundane and practical purview. Thus, we will consider cosmic rays as a tool for atmospheric research as well as an object of study concerning their interplay with the atmosphere. Some of the main topics include the retrieval of atmospheric temperature from cosmic-ray measurements and the study of the role of cosmic radiation in cloud formation. All these different research works will be approached from the experimental, theoretical and numerical framework.
