This study reviews galactic cosmic rays, their solar modulation, and Earth

Area of Science:

  • Cosmic ray physics
  • Atmospheric physics
  • Solar physics

Background:

  • Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) are high-energy particles originating from outside the solar system.
  • Solar modulation influences GCRs through solar activity.
  • Earth's magnetic field provides shielding against these particles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the composition and energy spectra of GCRs.
  • To discuss solar modulation mechanisms and geomagnetic shielding.
  • To investigate particle production in Earth's atmosphere.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing knowledge on cosmic ray properties.
  • Description of solar particle events.
  • Analysis of particle production via hadronic and electromagnetic cascades.

  • Investigation of altitude variations of atmospheric particles.

    • Main Results:

    • Presentation of typical energy spectra for atmospheric particles.
    • Understanding of particle interactions within Earth's atmosphere.
    • Characterization of GCR composition and energy.

    Conclusions:

    • Galactic cosmic rays undergo significant modulation and shielding.
    • Solar particle events contribute to atmospheric particle flux.
    • Atmospheric cascades are a key process for secondary particle generation.
