Significant uncertainties in solar modulation inhibit our ability to understand the physics of interstellar cosmic-ray injection and propagation. The effect of solar modulation on the propagation of cosmic-rays from the heliopause to the Earth is extremely complex, requiring the careful treatment of diffusion, particle drift, convection and adiabatic energy losses. Particle propagation codes...

The AMS-02 experiment on board the International Space Station measured with unprecedented accuracy the time variation of the cosmic ray proton and helium flux between May 2011 and May 2016 in the rigidity range from 1 to 100 GV. A comprehensive 3D steady-state numerical model is used to solve the Parker's transport equation and to reproduce the monthly fluxes observed by AMS-02. The...

7. Solar Energetic Particle Events with Protons above 500 MeV between 1995 and 2015 Measured with SOHO/EPHIN

The Sun is an effective particle accelerator producing solar energetic particle (SEP) events during which particles up to several GeVs can be observed. Those events observed at Earth with the neutron monitor network are called ground level enhancements (GLEs). In this work, SEP events with protons accelerated to above 500 MeV have been identified using data from the Electron Proton Helium...
