I read recently about the discovery of a particle with a 50eV charge
hitting the earth's atomsphere. Can anyone provide a link to where this
is being studied. If such particles come from quasars or supernovas,
how are they able to retain so much of their energy? And if they lose
energy are there any reasonable assumptions as to how much charge they
originally possessed.


Why would they lose charge?
