Atmospheric cosmic rays at aircraft altitudes
AbstractGalactic cosmic rays produced by some as yet unknown mechanism in the Milky Way galaxy interact with the solar wind, the earth's magnetic field, and its atmosphere to produce hadron, lepton, and photon fields at aircraft altitudes that are quite unlike anything produced in the laboratory. The energy spectra of these secondary particles extend from the lowest possible energy to energies over an EeV. The authors have calculated atmospheric cosmic-ray angular fluxes, spectra, scalar fluxes, and ionization and have compared them with experimental data. Agreement with these data was seen to be good. The authors also calculated doses equivalent in a simplified human phantom at aircraft altitudes and estimated health risks to aircraft crews.
