A Study of the Cosmic Ray Modulation and Solar Cosmic Ray Events Using Ground Based Neutron Monitors and Spacecraft Cosmic Ray Detectors

这项研究将继续运行华盛顿山上的中子监测器，使用来自IMP8、旅行者1号和2号以及先锋10号航天器的宇宙射线数据来调查不同日心距离（1 R 51 AU）的宇宙射线强度，并研究加速度。几个选定的太阳宇宙射线事件中太阳质子的注入和传播。它将集中于以下任务：1)1987-1988年开始的新调制周期作为日心半径的函数；2)日球边界调制；3)理论边界；4)外日球层宇宙射线的纬度和径向积分梯度；波状电流片对宇宙射线调制的影响；6)其他研究：a)选定太阳宇宙射线事件中质子的加速、注入和输运；b)宇宙射线调制在Forbush期间减小。* * * / /

This research will continue the operation of the neutron monitor at Mt. Washington, to use cosmic ray data from the IMP8, Voyager 1 and 2 and Pioneer 10 spacecraft to investigate the cosmic ray intensity at the various heliocentric distances (1 R 51 AU ) and to study the acceleration, injection and propagation of solar protons for a few selected solar cosmic ray events. It will concentrate on the following tasks: 1) onset of the new modulation cycle in 1987-1988 as a function of heliocentric radius; 2) heliospheric boundary modulation; 3) theoretical boundary; 4) integral latitudinal and radial cosmic ray gradients in the outer heliosphere; 5) effects of the wavy current sheet upon the cosmic ray modulation; 6) other studies: a) acceleration, injection and transport of protons in selected solar cosmic ray events; and b) cosmic ray modulation during Forbush decreases. ***//
