Invesigation of the Local Anisotropy of Cosmic Ray Muon Flux During Coronal Mass Ejections in 2007–2018

详细

Coronal mass ejections are among the most powerful disturbances of the interplanetary space. They can influence the state of the near-Earth space, including magnetosphere of the Earth. In addition, such disturbances modulate the flux of cosmic rays and penetrate both the heliosphere and the Earth’s magnetosphere. In order to find an early alert of such events, it is necessary to investigate the flux of particles arriving to the Earth and providing information about events in the heliosphere. The paper presents the results of investigation of the anisotropy of the cosmic ray muon flux by means of the muon hodoscope URAGAN in the period from 2007 to 2018.
