Solar and Heliospheric Studies with Antarctic Cosmic Ray Observations

该项目将继续运行已经位于麦克默多和南极的宇宙射线中子探测器。预计该项目将持续到下一个太阳活动极大期。该项目的科学目标是：1)阐明太阳活动的长期变化和南北不对称的性质。2)研究高能太阳粒子的加速、日冕输运和行星际输运。3)更好地了解行星际磁湍流的三维结构。4)进一步了解太阳对银河系宇宙射线的调制。

This project will continue the operation of the cosmic ray neutron detectors that are already located at McMurdo and South Pole, Antarctica. It is expected that this project will continue through the next solar maximum. The scientific goals of the project are: 1) To elucidate the nature of long-term variations and North-South asymmetries of solar activity. 2) To investigate the acceleration, coronal transport and interplanetary transport of energetic solar particles. 3) To better understand the three-dimensional structure of interplanetary magnetic turbulence. 4) To reach an improved understanding of the solar modulation of galactic cosmic rays.
