Abstract

Cosmic-ray scintillations registered by ground-base observations reflect, as a rule, the action of a whole number of processes proceeding in interplanetary space and Earth's magnetosphere. The study of scintillation phenomena in cosmic rays, is, in fact, divided into a number of problems connected with the interaction of charged particles of cosmic radiation with the matter and fields which they encounter in the entire length of their propagation. The cosmic-ray scintillations established by different authors from the data of ground-base and high-altitude devices for quiet and disturbed periods, as well as the theoretical calculations of different models and mechanisms of the origin and development of cosmic-ray scintillations are analyzed. High-frequency scintillations of f ≥ 10-5 Hz are shown to be precursors of an approaching shock wave, scintillations with periods of the order of 10–20 and 40–50 min being most sensitive to disturbances of interplanetary medium near the Earth. Since cosmic rays of different energies are sensitive to different processes in interplanetary space at different distances from the Earth, one can sound the conditions in interplanetary medium up to 1015 cm from the Earth by measuring particle fluxes at different energy ranges.
