71. 20)yrs. (19) The correlation in energy and time becomes even more significant when it is remembered that the higher energy primary has an even higher mean energy in transit, before losses on the 2.7K background. On the other hand, certain magnetic field configurations can lead to a counterintuitive earlier arrival time for the lower energy charged primary, as shown in D. Harari, S. Mollerach, and E. Roulet, J. High Energy Phys. 02, 035 (2000).
