A Monte Carlo simulation of the interactions of cosmic rays with the atmosphere
Substantial fluxes of protons and leptons with energies below the geomagnetic cutoff have been measured by the AMS experiment at altitudes of 370-390 Km, in the latitude interval ±51.7. The production mechanisms of the observed trapped fluxes are investigated in detail by means of the FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation code. All known processes involved in the interaction of the cosmic rays with the ...

متن کاملSolar Modulation on Galactic Cosmic Rays in the Earth’s Atmosphere
A brief review of solar modulation on galactic cosmic rays in the earth’s atmosphere is presented. The results of the characterizations of the major two events i.e. Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs)(measured in counts) and Galactic Solar rays(GSRs) (measured in counts) against time (measured in hour) shows significant variations. It was also observed that the variations of the events are slightly out...
متن کاملDetailed analysis of observed antiprotons in cosmic rays
In the present work, the origin of antiprotons observed in cosmic rays (above the atmosphere) is analyzed in details. We have considered the origin of the primaries, (which their interactions with the interstellar medium is one of the most important sources of antiprotons) is a supernova type II then used a diffusion model for their propagation. We have used the latest parameterization for anti...
متن کاملExotic Neutrino Interactions in Cosmic Rays
The spectrum of extra-galactic cosmic rays (CRs) is expected to follow the GreisenZatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) cutoff at about 5× 10 GeV which results from energy losses of charged nuclei in the cosmic microwave background. So far the confrontation of this feature with CR data is inconclusive. In the absence of close-by sources a power-law continuation of the spectrum might signal the contribution of ...
