The solar modulation of galactic cosmic rays (GCR) can be studied in detail by long term variations of the GCR energy spectrum (e.g. on the scales of a solar cycle). With almost 20 years of data, the Electron Proton Helium INstrument (EPHIN) aboard SOHO is well suited for these kind of investigations.
Although the design of the instrument is optimized to measure proton and helium isotope...

Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) are accelerated at the Sun in solar flares or by the shocks formed by Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). However, the effects of transport en route to Earth often obscures which process dominates, and when. At the highest energies, the effects of transport can be minimal, providing an opportunity to resolve the origin of particle acceleration. The Payload for...

The PAMELA satellite experiment, operating since 2006 June, is providing precise and detailed measurements of the radiation environment in low Earth orbit, including galactic, solar and under-cutoff cosmic-rays. The analysis of the different components is supported by an accurate trajectory tracing simulation based on a realistic modeling of the Earth's magnetosphere, which enables the...
