Cosmic ray effects caused by the total magnetic field of the Sun

Description

Experimental data on 22-year cycle in the modulation of galactic cosmic rays are considered. It is shown qualitatively that the dependence of cosmic ray intensity on the heliolatitudinal distribution of sunspots observed is related to angular dimensions of the modulating volume which in its turn is determined by the total magnetic field of the Sun. The model characteristics of the ''closed'' and ''open'' heliomagnetosphere and the behavior of galactic cosmic rays in them are briefly discussed. Besides regular magnetic fields inside the heliomagnetosphere a considerable influence on cosmic ray modulation may be exerted by electric fields and the potential difference between the medium and the boundary of the heliomagnetosphere
