Description:
The modulation of cosmic rays at the time of the February 23, 1956 solar flare cosmic ray outburst has been estimated from the latitude variation of the cosmic ray intensity decrease observed in the period surrounding the flare event. The perturbing influence of these modulation effects on the rigidity spectrum of the flare radiation has been calculated. The change in the slope of the rigidity spectrum is found to be small as the modulation function does not have a strong dependence on rigidity between low and middle magnetic latitudes. © 1958, Society of Geomagnetism and Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences.
