Influence of the terrestrial magnetic field geometry on the cutoff rigidity of cosmic ray particles
Studies of the propagation of charged energetic particles in the Earth's magnetic field go back to Carl Størmer. In the end, his investigations finally lead to the definition of the so-called cutoff rigidity <i>R</i><sub>C</sub>; that is, the minimum momentum per char...
