The access of cosmic-ray particles to a medium-latitude observatory is analysed fromresults coming fromthe numerical solution of the charged-particle motion in the geomagnetic field. Evaluations are performed mainly for the Lomnicky Stit neutron monitor location (LS: 2634 m a.s.l., geographic coordinates 49.20æ N, 20.22æ E), but some results for the Antarctic Laboratory for Cosmic Rays (LARC:40 ma.s.l, 62.20æ S and 301.04æ E) are also given. Particular attention is paid to the variability of the magnetospheric screening appearing when the external magnetic field is added to the internal one.
Cosmic-ray transparency for a medium-latitude observatory

Abstract
The access of cosmic-ray particles to a medium-latitude observatory is analysed fromresults coming fromthe numerical solution of the charged-particle motion in the geomagnetic field. Evaluations are performed mainly for the Lomnicky Stit neutron monitor location (LS: 2634 m a.s.l., geographic coordinates 49.20æ N, 20.22æ E), but some results for the Antarctic Laboratory for Cosmic Rays (LARC:40 ma.s.l, 62.20æ S and 301.04æ E) are also given. Particular attention is paid to the variability of the magnetospheric screening appearing when the external magnetic field is added to the internal one.File in questo prodotto:
