Dynamics of the frequency spectrum of fluctuations of the interplanetary magnetic field and cosmic rays.
Abstract
Prognoz-6 data on the dynamics of the fluctuation spectrum of low-energy cosmic-rays tends to support the hypothesis that the modulation of the cosmic-ray fluctuation spectrum has an interplanetary origin. The results indicate that an analogous dynamics is observed in the fluctuation spectrum of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), the dynamics in the frequency spectra of cosmic rays and the IMF occurring simultaneously. This suggests that the dynamics of the fluctuation spectrum of cosmic rays is conditioned by the dynamics of the IMF irregularity spectrum. The results also indicate the presence of two bursts of fluctuations of galactic cosmic rays and the IMF in the event of June 9-10, 1968, when the passage of a shock front was noted.
