    • The effect of the heliospheric current sheet on cosmic-ray modulation 

      Moloto, Katlego Daniel (North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)
      The heliospheric current sheet is a dominant feature of the heliosphere. As solar activity increases, the tilt angle of the current sheet increases, and so does the region swept out by this structure, to cover most of ...

    • Modelling heliospheric current sheet drift in stochastic cosmic ray transport models 

      Strauss, R.D.; Potgieter, M.S.; Büsching, I.; Kopp, A. (Springer, 2012)
      Drifts are one of the major cosmic ray modulation mechanisms in the heliosphere. Three types of drifts occur in the background heliospheric magnetic field, namely curvature, gradient and current sheet drifts. The last ...
