Effects of the tilted and wavy current sheet on the solar modulation of galactic cosmic rays
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transport equation of the galactic cosmic ray (GCR) is numerically solved for qA > 0 and qA < 0 based on the stochastic differential equation (SDE) method. We have developed a fully time-dependent and threedimensional code adapted for the wavy heliospheric current sheet (HCS). Results anticipated by the drift pattern are obtained for sample trajectories and distributions of arrival points at the heliospheric boundary for GCR protons. Our simulation reproduced a 22-year cycle of solar modulation which is qualitatively consistent with observations. Energy spectra of protons at 1 AU are calculated and compared with the observation by BESS.

Stochastic simulation of cosmic ray modulation including a wavy heliospheric current sheet
[1] We present a quasi-steady two-dimensional (axisymmetric) model of the heliospheric transport of galactic cosmic rays. The model is based on stochastic simulation techniques and includes all the modulation mechanisms that cosmic rays experience in the heliosphere: convection, adiabatic cooling, diffusion, and drifts. A special emphasis is given to the cosmic ray transport in the vicinity of ...

One of the main factors for satellite design is simulating of total ionizing dose due to space ionizing rays in devices used in space. By measurement of induced dose based on available data in different altitudes, expenses of designing, satellite weight and amount of needed fuel will be reduced. Optimum design of satellite for protecting satellite against ionizing radiation has considerable eff...
متن کاملHeliospheric modulation of galactic cosmic rays during grand solar minima: Past and future variations
[1] Galactic cosmic ray flux at Earth is modulated by the heliospheric magnetic field. Heliospheric modulation potential, F, during grand solar minima is investigated using an open solar flux (OSF) model with OSF source based on sunspot number, R, and OSF loss on heliospheric current sheet inclination. Changing dominance between source and loss means F varies in(anti-) phase with R during stron...
متن کاملAn empirical model of heliospheric cosmic ray modulation on long-term time scale
Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) entering the heliosphere are subject to modulation processes due to variable solar magnetic activity. Finding a relationship between cosmic-ray variations and the heliospheric parameters is important for reconstruction of solar activity in the past. Here, we develop a semi-empirical model describing the heliospheric modulation of GCRs in terms of heliospheric paramet...
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...
