Abstract:Heavier-than-proton nuclei in cosmic rays are responsible for up to 45% of neutron monitor (NM) response depending on the level of solar modulation as well as the geomagnetic rigidity cutoff and altitude of a given NM location. Therefore, a careful consideration of these heavy species is important for an accurate analysis of NM data, including a reconstruction of the solar modulation potential using the worldwide NM network data. Recently, the AMS-02 experiment allowed us to directly verify the NM response to … Show more
