The cosmic rays modulation inside the heliosphere is well described by a transport equation introduced by Parker in 1965. To solve this equation several approaches were followed in the past. Recently the Monte Carlo approach becomes widely used in force of his advantages with respect to other numerical methods. In the Monte Carlo approach, the transport equation is associated to a fully equivalent set of Stochastic Differential Equations. This set is used to describe the stochastic path of a quasi-particle from a source, e.g., the interstellar medium, to a specific target, e.g., a detector at Earth. In this work, we present both the Forward-in-Time and Backward-in-Time Monte Carlo solutions. We present an implementation of both algorithms in the framework of HelMod Code showing that the difference between the two approach is below 5% that can be quoted as the systematic uncertain of the Method itself.

Toward an alternative approach to the quantum mechanic ground state search, we theoretically introduce a protocol in which energy of two identical systems are deterministically exchanged. The protocol utilizes a quantum interference between forward a
nd backward time evolved states with respect to a given Hamiltonian. In addition, to make use the protocol for the ground state search, we construct a network with which we may be able to efficiently apply the protocol successively among multiple systems so that energy of one of them is gradually approaching the lowest one. Although rigorous analysis on the validity of the network is left as a future challenge, some properties of the network are also investigated.
After the disappearance of lower energy heliospheric particles at Voyager 1 starting on August 25th, 2012, spectra of H, He and C/O nuclei were revealed that resembled those to be expected for galactic cosmic rays. These spectra had intensity peaks i
n the range of 30-60 MeV, decreasing at both lower energies down to a few MeV and at higher energies up to several hundred MeV. We have modeled the propagation of these particles in the galaxy using an updated Leaky Box Diffusion model which determines the spectra of these components from ~2 MeV to >200 GeV. The key parameters used in the model are a galactic input spectrum ~P^-2.24, the same for all components and independent of rigidity, and a diffusion coefficient that is ~P^0.5 above a lower rigidity and increases ~beta^-1.0 below a lower rigidity ~0.56 GV. These same parameters also fit the high energy H and He data from ~10-200 GeV/nuc from the PAMELA and BESS experiments. The new Voyager spectra for all three nuclei are thus consistent with rigidity spectra ~P^-2.24 from the lowest energies to at least 100 GeV. Deviations from this spectrum can reasonably be attributed to propagation effects. Some deviations between the calculated and newly observed spectra are noted, however, below ~30 MeV/nuc, particularly for C/O nuclei, that could be significant regarding the propagation and sources of these particles.
The forward-backward (FB) charged particle multiplicity correlations between windows separated in rapidity and azimuth are analyzed using a model that treats strings as independent identical emitters. Both the short-range (SR) contribution, originati
ng from the correlation between multiplicities produced from a single source, and the long-range (LR) contribution, originating from the fluctuation in the number of sources, are taken into account. The dependencies of the FB correlation coefficient, $b$, on the windows rapidity and azimuthal acceptance and the gaps between these windows are studied and compared with the preliminary data of ALICE. The analysis of these dependencies effectively separates the contributions of two above mechanisms. It is also demonstrated that traditional definitions of FB correlation coefficient $b$ have a strong nonlinear dependence on the acceptance of windows. Suitable alternative observables for the future FB correlation studies are proposed. The connection between $b$ and the two-particle correlation function, $C_2$, is traced, as well as its connection to the untriggered di-hadron correlation analysis. Using a model independent analysis, it is shown that measurement of the FB multiplicity correlations between two small windows separated in rapidity and azimuth fully determine the two-particle correlation function $C_2$, even if the particle distribution in rapidity is not uniform.
We implemented a website to deal with main effects on Cosmic Ray access to the Earth, i.e. the Solar Modulation and the Geomagnetic Field effect. In helmod.org the end user can easily access a web interface to results catalog of the HelMod Monte Carl
o Code. This Model uses a Monte Carlo Approach to solves the Parker Transport Equation, obtaining a modulated proton flux for a period (monthly average) between January 1990 and december 2007. geomagsphere.org is instead based on GeoMag Backtracing Code, that solves the Lorentz equation with a Runge-Kutta method of 6th order, and, reversing charge sign and velocity, reconstruct particle trajectories in the Earth Magnetosphere back in time. We use last models of internal (IGRF-11) and external (Tsyganenko 1996 -T96- and 2005 -T05-) field components valid up to 2015. Particles are backtraced to the outer (magnetopause) or inner boundary to separate Primary (allowed trajectory) from Secondary (forbidden) Cosmic Rays. This code has been used both for reproducing known effects as East-West effect and rigidity cutoff calculations. In geomagsphere.org the user can choose the external field model from Tsyganenko (T96 or T05) and obtain for a fixed position and date from 1st Jan. 1968 (T96) and 1st Jan. 1995 (T05) respectively till 31$^{st}$ Dec 2012, the vertical rigidity cutoff estimation obtained with the backtracing technique with a rigidity step of 0.1 GV. For a more precise calculation (0.01 GV), requiring more CPU time, results are sent to the user by email (mail model)
Ionization of the Earths atmosphere by sunlight forms a complex, multi-layered plasma environment within the Earths magnetosphere, the innermost layers being the ionosphere and plasmasphere. The plasmasphere is believed to be embedded with cylindrica
l density structures (ducts) aligned along the Earths magnetic field, but direct evidence for these remains scarce. Here we report the first direct wide-angle observation of an extensive array of field-aligned ducts bridging the upper ionosphere and inner plasmasphere, using a novel ground-based imaging technique. We establish their heights and motions by feature-tracking and parallax analysis. The structures are strikingly organized, appearing as regularly-spaced, alternating tubes of overdensities and underdensities strongly aligned with the Earths magnetic field. These findings represent the first direct visual evidence for the existence of such structures.
