Creators

Description

The hypothesis is made that the knee in the integrated primary cosmic ray spectrum is due to the nucleon(antinucleon) decay products of monopole-antimonopole annihilations. The rate of such annihilations is calculated and some speculations on the annihilation scenario are presented. (author)
