University of Utah Awarded $1 Million by Keck Foundation to Study Cosmic Rays University of Utah Awarded $1 Million by Keck Foundation to Study Cosmic Rays

The University of Utah today announced that the W.M. Keck Foundation awarded $1 million to university researchers to study high-energy cosmic rays in Utah’s western deserts that are hurtling their way toward Earth. These rays — 10 trillion times more energetic than particles emitted in a nuclear explosion — originate from violent cosmic events deep within the universe.
