The tilt effect on cutoff

Contenido principal del artículo

S. Bravo

Resumen

En este trabajo se analiza el efecto que tiene sobre la rigidez umbral de los protones de rayos cósmicos la inclinación del dipolo magnético respecto al flujo del viento solar. El análisis se hace para diferentes horas locales de arribo vertical a College Station, que tiene una latitud invariante de ͌ 64°. Se encuentra que la energía umbral calculada para diferentes ángulos de inclinación a la misma hora de llegada difiere en más de 20 MeV, correspondiendo las mayores diferencias a la llegada a 18 horas locales y las menores a las 6 horas. También se calcula la variación diurna del umbral tomando en cuenta la variación diurna del ángulo de inclinación, durante los solsticios de verano e invierno para una estación con λinv=64° y una ϕ mag=Oº. Se compara con la variación diurna que se obtiene sin tomar en cuenta las variaciones de este ángulo y se encuentra que existen diferencias mayores de 10 Me V en las energías umbral esperadas.
