High-energy cosmic rays from solar flares during the period from November 10 to December 10, 2013 according spectrometers Pamela and Arina.

Magnetic Spectrometer Pamela and scintillation spectrometer Arina installed on board the satellite Resource-DK1 continue precision measurements of the charged component of cosmic rays and solar galactic nature.

Resource -DK1

In the past month (from November 10 to December 10), despite the large number of sunspots on the Sun almost did not happen powerful explosive processes (flares).

During this time, in experiments Arina and Pamela received time - intensity profiles of galactic and solar protons with energies of 45-100 MeV and 100 MeV - tens of GeV, respectively.

For clarity, Figure 1 shows the time profiles in the energy range 45 ÷ 55 MeV, 100 MeV and 145 ÷ 400 ÷ 540 MeV. Moments solar flares that occurred 10 and 19 November , marked by arrows, next to which specified event class (X1.1 and H1.0).


Figure 1. The intensity of galactic and solar cosmic rays in the period from November 10 until December 10, according spectrometers Pamela and Arina. Recess instruments related to the prevention of the spacecraft systems.

Thin horizontal lines in the figure shows the average flows in a quiet period of solar activity. During outbreaks spectrometers recorded appearance in near space high-energy solar protons with energies greater than 150 MeV. Other components of solar cosmic rays were detected.
