Expanding the size of the simulation will allow the team to test an alternate theory
for the emergence of
galactic wind in disk galaxies like M82.
If Svensmark and other researchers are correct the switch between these states could be due to weakness in the solar
wind leading to more
galactic cosmic rays entering the atmosphere and increasing the nucleation
for cloud droplets (just as in a «cloud chamber»).
Cosmogenic isotopes, which are produced by
galactic cosmic rays impacting on meteoroids and whose production rate is modulated by the varying HMF convected outward by the solar
wind, may offer an alternative tool
for the investigation of the HMF in the past centuries.
