Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Results are presented from modeling two different conditions for parameterizing the geometry of Earth’s atmosphere and the spectrum of primary cosmic rays. In the first, the input data correspond to solar cosmic rays and calculations are made for all geographic latitudes and longitudes. The second is devoted to estimating the contribution from the nuclei of galactic cosmic rays while considering only a local region of the atmosphere.
