A simulation of galactic proton spectra observed over a solar minimum period of a solar cycle 24

Project Description:

The measurements of cosmic ray isotope fluxes by spacecraft missions such as AMS02 and PAMELA generated interest in the study of solar modulation over changing solar activity. These exceptional measurements provide an opportunity for enhanced numerical modelling of the solar modulation of galactic cosmic rays over a wide range of rigidity at the Earth. A three-dimensional drift model would be used to theoretical model spectra for a solar minimum period of 2019-2021 to the period of increasing solar activity. This would be based on intrinsic parameters based on the comparison of model computations to the already spacecraft missions observations.
