Description

A study of neutron monitor count rates with vertical cut-off rigidities from 0.6 to 13 GV indicates that high-energy and low-energy galactic cosmic rays arrive at earth orbit with small time differences compared to a month. This is in contradiction to the theory of the deceleration potential which states that cosmic-ray particles with rigidities greater than 36 V arrive at earth orbit about three months before cosmic-ray particles with less rigidnesses.
