Forbush Decreases in the Fluxes of Galactic Cosmic Rays, According to the PAMELA Experiment

Аннотация

Amplitudes of Forbush decreases registered in the PAMELA experiment from 2006 to 2014 were analyzed, depending on such characteristics of interplanetary space as the magnitude of the magnetic field modulus, the solar wind velocity, and the plasma temperature. The PAMELA telescope consists of a time-of-flight system, a magnetic spectrometer, anticoincidence systems, an electromagnetic calorimeter, and a neutron detector. It was launched into Earth orbit aboard the Resurs DK1 satellite in June 2006 and continued to work for 10 years.
