Description

It is established, that the main contribution into dynamics of galactic cosmic ray intensity fluctuations (GCR) in a vicinity of magnetic 'cork' from a shock gives a nonrandom, non-Gauss component of GCR intensity. An occurrence of correlated fluctuations is caused by following circumstance: due to laws of conservation the probability that the cosmic ray particles reflected from a magnetic cork (in the expanding magnetic field) will undergo collimations, becomes considerable. The collimation will be manifested in focusing of particles into the anisotropic beams. In this case, observations should show 'scintillations' of celestial sphere in cosmic rays i.e. the 'HALO' effect. Similar scintillations are the indicator of interplanetary magnetic cork. The algorithm of detection of GCR scintillations is realized in real time using 'Cyber-FORSHOCK' robotized system.
