Galactic Cosmic Rays in a Finite Solar Cavity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Extract
In this paper we model mathematically the propagation of galactic cosmic-rays in the solar cavity and study the effects of changing the physical parameters; in particular the radius of the cavity. We assume spherical symmetry with heliocentric distance r, momentum p and work in terms of F0(r, p) the mean distribution function with respect to momentum; it is related to JT the mean differential intensity w.r.t. energy by JT = p2F0. The boundary is at r = rb beyond which the galactic spectrum prevails; there is free escape of particles incident on rb from within, and the distribution is steady state.
