Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We discuss an intrinsic ambiguity on the interpretation of results on cosmic-ray physics, related to the impossibility of deducing two unknowns: the chemical composition of primary cosmic rays and the dynamics of particle interactions in the fragmentation region, based only on a single measurement. We indicate how measurements of particle production at and near zero degrees—at extreme values of rapidity (or pseudorapidity)—can overcome these uncertainties. Experiments of this nature are possible at the Fermilab Tevatron and will be possible at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, and should resolve the questions concerning the interpretation of cosmic ray data up to the highest measured energies. © 1998 The American Physical Society.
