Description

The second spherical harmonics of the three dimensional cosmic ray angular distribution are deduced from the statistical Boltzmann equation. The density gradient and pitch is suggested that the semidiurnal variation is produced, in an indirect way, by the 0.3 per cent sunward streaming observed by Dyer et al in the 1-5 GV range. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Kugelfunktionen Zweiter Ordnung in der dreidimensionalen Winkelverteilung der kosmischen Strahlen werden aus der statistischen Boltzmanngleichung hergeleitet. Verteilungsmodelle fuer den Dichtegradienten und den Neigungswinkel werden diskutiert. Es wird vorgeschlagen, dass die halbtaegige Schwankung indirekt hervorgerufen wird durch die 0.3% auf die Sonne gerichtete Stroemung im 1-5 GV Bereich, die von Dyer et al beobachtet wurde. (orig.)
