Description for Cosmic Rays in Magnetospheres of the Earth and Other Planets
Hardback. This monograph describes the behavior of cosmic rays (CR), mostly in the magnetosphere of the Earth and of some other planets. Recently this has become an important topic both theoretically and practically. Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library. Num Pages: 804 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHP; PHVG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 42. Weight in Grams: 1298.
The problem of cosmic ray (CR) geomagnetic effects came to the fore at the beg- ning of the 1930s after the famous expeditions by J. Clay onboard ship (Slamat) between the Netherlands and Java using an ionization chamber. Many CR la- tude expeditions were organized by the famous scientists and Nobel Laureates R. Millikan and A. Compton. From the obtained latitude curves it follows that CRs cannot be gamma rays (as many scientists thought at that time), but must be charged particles. From measurements of azimuthally geomagnetic effect at that time it also followed that these charged particles must be ... Read more
