A modelling study of the long-term variation of the solar modulation of Galactic cosmic rays

Project Description:

Observations of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) matter and antimatter have been made with particle detectors such as PAMELA since 2009, together with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02), which has provided measurements of galactic cosmic rays since 2011, including recent detectors such as HEPD01 and HEPD02. The availability of these observations in a similar position and over a long period makes it possible to gain insight into how the diffusion and drift processes evolved with changing solar activity and heliospheric magnetic polarity. In this study 3-D numerical model would be used to compute differential intensities compatible with the observations in order to understand the modulation of cosmic rays using numerical modelling.
