HIGH-ALTITUDE COSMIC RAY MEASUREMENTS AT FORT CHURCHILL

Measurements with rocket-borne Geiger counters have been carried out at altitudes up to 250 km at Fort Churchill, Manitoba. The total primary cosmic ray intensity at a time near a solar maximum has been determined and compared with other measurements taken at times of high solar activity and also wi...

description Measurements with rocket-borne Geiger counters have been carried out at altitudes up to 250 km at Fort Churchill, Manitoba. The total primary cosmic ray intensity at a time near a solar maximum has been determined and compared with other measurements taken at times of high solar activity and also with other Geiger counter measurements obtained near a solar minimum. A low-energy radiation was observed whose intensity increased with altitude up to about 25% of the primary intensity at 250 km.
