New method of determining electron production in ionosphere by corpuscular ionization
Abstract
The ionization of the upper atmosphere by extraterrestrial cosmic rays and corpuscular fluxes is considered. Expressions are obtained for ionization losses of particle energy and electron production rates in the ionosphere.
