Evaluation of the flux of CR nuclei inside the magnetosphere
Abstract
We have evaluated Cosmic Ray trajectories inside the magnetosphere and defined a Transmission Function (TF) for the CR penetration. We have then computed the TF for Helium, Carbon and Iron nuclei. Finally the flux of primary CR Helium, Carbon and Iron has been evaluated inside the magnetosphere. The results have then been compared with calculations for protons and also with experimental data collected by AMS-01 and HEAO-3.
