Description

Calculated angular distributions of atmospheric leakage neutron fluxes from 19 MeV to 1 GeV are presented. Comparisons with the balloon measurements of Preszler et al and Kanbach et al are made and show substantial agreement, strengthening the belief in the importance of the CRAND (cosmic-ray albedo-neutron decay) contribution to the high-energy protons in the earth's inner radiation belt. (orig./WBU)

Abstract (German)

Es werden berechnete Winkelverteilungen von atmosphaerischen Leckfluessen von Neutronen von 19 MeV bis 1 GeV vorgestellt. Vergleiche mit den Ballonmessungen von Preszler et al. und Kanbach et al. zeigen im wesentlichen Uebereinstimmung, was die Ueberzeugung von der Wichtigkeit des CRAND (cosmic-ray albedo-neutron decay) Beitrags zu den hochenergetischen Protonen im inneren Strahlungsguertel der Erde bestaerkt.
