Distribution of secondary particles intensities over Earth’s surface: Effect of the geomagnetic field Original Research Article

We use the CORSIKA package () and AMS-01 flight data () to evaluate the distribution of secondary particles in the Earth atmosphere. Distribution covers all longitudes and latitudes of STS-91 Space Shuttle flight trajectory to Mir Space Station. Moreover distribution covers all depth in the atmosphere in the evaluated area. We show distributions for e−, e+, μ+, μ−, gammas, hadrons and Cherenkov light from primary protons and helium component of cosmic rays flux. Our results compare favorably with other estimates made by different techniques. We also estimate an UV light production (300–400 nm) by electron component of secondaries at the top of the atmosphere and at ISS orbit.
