Cosmic Rays in the Terrestrial Magnetic Dipole Field

Pages 215-233 | Received 05 Nov 1955, Published online: 15 Dec 2016
 

Abstract

The results of scale model experiments with electron orbits in a magnetic dipole field are given in the form of diagrams on big globes. By using these globes it is possible to find the asymptotic directions of cosmic ray particle orbits as a function of momentum and direction of incidence at a cosmic ray recording station. Globes, representing 16 stations are depicted.
