Sentences with phrase «field on cosmic ray»

Not exact matches

The problem is that magnetic fields in interstellar space deflect cosmic rays on their way to our detectors, scrambling their paths and making it difficult to trace their origins.

The resulting interaction converted magnetic energy into kinetic energy and sent charged particles such as cosmic rays raining down on Earth's magnetosphere, the region around Earth where its own magnetic field is stronger than other magnetic fields in space.

Earth's magnetic field is crucial for our existence, as it shields the life on our planet's surface from deadly cosmic rays.

By several measures — geomagnetic activity, weakness of polar magnetic fields, flagging solar deflection of galactic cosmic rays — the minimum was the deepest on record, Hathaway said, although some of those records contain just a few cycles.

The prize is in honor of Professor Bruno Rossi, an authority on cosmic - ray physics and a pioneer in the field of X-ray astronomy.

Results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) on the International Space Station (ISS) will be the focus of the three day «AMS Days at CERN» meeting, an occasion that brings together many of the world's leading theoretical physicists and principal investigators of some of the major experiments exploring the field of cosmic ray physics (IceCube, Pierre Auger Observatory, Fermi - LAT, H.E.S.S. and CTA, the Telescope Array, JEM - EUSO, and ISS - CREAM).

Their research could shed light on the origin of primordial magnetic fields that formed when galaxies were created and could help researchers understand how cosmic rays are accelerated to high energies.

How these cyclical climate take place is still unknown, but they «are most likely caused by variations in the solar wind and associated magnetic fields that affect the flux of cosmic rays incident on cloudiness, and thereby control the amount of sunlight reaching the earth's surface and thus the climate.»

Svensmark (1998) later proposed that changes in the inter-planetary magnetic fields (IMF) resulting from variations on the sun can affect the climate through galactic cosmic rays (GCR) by modulating earth's cloud cover.

Large changes in cosmic rays are documented in response to magnetic - field variations (the Laschamp event of about 40,000 years ago is especially prominent) with no corresponding change in climate, so any cosmic - ray influence on the climate must be very small (a weak correlation can be obscured by noise; a strong control is almost always visible «by eye,» and clearly is absent).

Renown solar scientist Dr. K.G. McCracken from the Institute for Physical Science and Technology, University of Maryland, in 2007 published paper: Changes in the cosmic ray and heliomagnetic components of space climate, 1428 — 2005, including the variable occurrence of solar energetic particle events McCracken 2007 paper Major result of McCracken investigation based on 10Be dating is: the estimated annual average heliospheric magnetic field strength near Earth, 1428 — 2005, based on the inter-calibrated cosmic ray record as shown in Fig. 2 on p. 1073 (4 of 8).

(They comment on the geomagnetic field's influence on cosmic ray flux in addition to the influence of the solar - driven interplanetary magnetic field; although I skipped over bothering to depict that in the prior graph compilation, which is very illustrative even without it, Vukcevic seems quite on to something there).

On very long time scales, e.g. millennia, the Earth's magnetic field controls the access of cosmic rays.

20 and 21), and the attenuation level of cosmic rays in the heliosphere depends on the strength and level of turbulence of solar magnetic field and on the global structure of the heliosphere.

Cosmic rays are deflected and guided by the Earth's field, but the small disturbances caused by the solar wind are not enough to have any measurable effect of the cosmic rays entering the Earth's atmosphere and thus also not on the cCosmic rays are deflected and guided by the Earth's field, but the small disturbances caused by the solar wind are not enough to have any measurable effect of the cosmic rays entering the Earth's atmosphere and thus also not on the ccosmic rays entering the Earth's atmosphere and thus also not on the clouds.

My calculations show that combining heliospheric magnetic field (controlling input of the cosmic rays basis of the Svensmark's theory) with changes in the Earth's magnetic field indeed shows close correlation with the temperature variability in the N. Hemisphere on the annual, decadal and multi-decadal scale.

Because the sun's magnetic field controls how many cosmic rays reach Earth's atmosphere; the sun determines the temperature on Earth.

The CLOUD project at the European Center for Nuclear Research is probing the Svensmark - Shaviv hypothesis on the role of cosmic rays modulated by the solar magnetic field on the low cloud coverage; the first and encouraging results have been published in Nature.

The magnetic field strength deflects more or less galactic cosmic rays which are really very high energy charged particles and the interaction between charge and magnetic field strength deflects them just like the magnets on the yoke of a cathode ray tube deflects an electron beam.

The reversal of magnetic field strength from one solar hemisphere to the other may have significant effects on cosmic ray modulation, for example.

They are most likely caused by variations in the solar wind and associated magnetic fields that affect the flux of cosmic rays incident on the earth's atmosphere.

There is no direct correlation or coincidence over observed time to indicate that it is «most likely caused by variations in the solar wind and associated magnetic fields that affect the flux of cosmic rays incident on the earth's atmosphere»

Reconstructions of the geomagnetic field in the past represent a useful tool not only to investigate the geodynamo process, but also to estimate the effect of geomagnetic shielding for any studies on cosmogenic radionuclides and galactic cosmic rays.

A joint analysis of paleodata on variations in cosmic ray fluxes, solar activity, geomagnetic field, and climate during the period from ∼ 10000 to ∼ 100000 years ago has been performed.

A performed analysis indicates that the variations in cosmic ray fluxes under the action of variations in the geomagnetic field and solar activity are apparently one of the most effective natural factors of long - term climate changeability on a large time scale.
