HIGH-ALTITUDE COSMIC RAY MEASUREMENTS AT FORT CHURCHILL

Journal Article · · Canadian Journal of Physics (Canada)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1139/p60-069· OSTI ID:4139890
Measurements with rocket-borne Geiger counters were carried out at altitudes up to 150 km at Fort Churchill, Manitoba. The total primary cosmic ray intensity at a time near a solar maximum was 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. (auth)
