SUMMARY:Cosmic rays from the simple to the complex\, Chaos & Complex S
 ystems Seminar\, Justin Vandenbroucke\, UW Department of Physics
DESCRIPTION:Cosmic rays and their siblings\, astrophysical gamma rays 
 and neutrinos\, are fundamentally simple objects: high energy subatomi
 c particles. However\, they arrive at Earth bearing information about 
 some of the most energetic and enigmatic phenomena in the universe\, i
 ncluding exploding stars\, giant black holes at the center of distant 
 galaxies\, and dark matter. I will discuss recent progress and open qu
 estions\, including the prospects for answering some of them with a ne
 w instrument called the Cherenkov Telescope Array. Finally\, I will pr
 esent the Distributed Electronic Cosmic-ray Observatory\, an app and w
 ebsite that enable members of the public to detect cosmic rays with ce
 ll phone camera sensors.
