A cosmic-ray database update: CRDB v4.1

The European Physical Journal C, vol. 83

Abstract

Abstract The cosmic-ray database, , has been gathering cosmic-ray data for the community since 2013. We present a new release, , providing many new quantities and data sets, with several improvements made on the code and web interface, and with new visualisation tools. relies on the MySQL database management system, and libraries for queries and sorting, and PHP web pages and AJAX protocol for displays. A REST interface enables user queries from command line or scripts. A new (pip-installable) CRDB python library is developed and extensive jupyter notebook examples are provided. This release contains cosmic-ray dipole anisotropy data, high-energy $$\bar{p}/p$$ p ¯ / p upper limits, some unpublished LEE and AESOP lepton time series, many more ultra-high energy data, and a few missing old data sets. It also includes high-precision data from the last three years, in particular the hundreds of thousands AMS-02 and PAMELA data time series (time-dependent plots are now enabled). All these data are shown in a gallery of plots, which can be easily reproduced from the public notebook examples. contains 316,126 data points from 504 publications, in 4111 sub-experiments from 131 experiments.
