Description

Some latest results on the present knowledge on cosmic rays are reported. The amplitude and shape of the 11-year cycle in cosmogenic isotopes and historical aurorae is discussed, in view of deducing a possible 22-year cycle in the past cosmic rays. The 200-year cycle in ice cores, tree rings and sediments and its possible relation to a solar secular variability is analyzed. The application of meteorite studies for relating modern to remote cosmic ray sources is treated in detail. Experiments in different archives are discussed: 14C in tree rings, 10Be in ice cores, thermoluminescence in sediments, and cosmic ray effects in extraterrestrial materials.
