The aim of this work is to determine the total integrated flux of cosmic radiation which a commercial aircraft is exposed to along specific flight trajectories. To study the radiation background during a flight and its modulation by effects such as altitude, latitude, exposure time and transient magnetospheric events, we perform simulations based on Magnetocosmics and CORSIKA codes, the former designed to calculate the geomagnetic effects on cosmic rays propagation and the latter allows us to simulate the development of extended air showers in the atmosphere. In this first work, by considering the total flux of cosmic rays from 5 GeV to 1 PeV, we obtained the expected integrated flux of secondary particles on board of a commercial airplane during the Bogota-Buenos Aires trip by point-to-point numerical integration.

We study the time-dependent modulation effect and derive the local interstellar spectra (LIS) for the cosmic ray (CR) proton, helium, boron and carbon. A two-dimensional modulation model including the variation of the interplanetary environment with
time is adopted to describe modulation process. The propagation equation of CRs in the heliosphere is numerically solved by the package Solarprop. We derive the LIS by fitting the latest results of several experiments, including Voyager 1, PAMELA, BESS-POLARII and ACE, during low solar activity periods. We further study the modulation in the polarity reversal periods with the PAMELA proton data. We find that the rigidity dependence of the diffusion coefficient is critical to explain the modulation effect during reversal periods. Our results also indicate a power law relation between the diffusion coefficient and the magnitude of the heliospheric magnetic field (HMF) at the Earth.
We present an analysis of the short-term modulation (one rotation of Bartels-27 days) of the galactic cosmic rays (GCR) by the solar wind, based on the cosmic ray rates observed by the Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) on their surface detectors in scal
er mode. The incidence of GCR with energies below $sim$ 50 TeV, at the top of the atmosphere, produces more than 90% of the secondary particles registered at ground level, i.e., they are subject to solar modulation. The modulation is consistent with at least two components: The first is the modulation of the amplitude of the cosmic rays diurnal variation, anti-correlated with the solar-wind speed. The second one occurs during the high-speed stream (HSS), the baseline of the cosmic rays diurnal variation train falls, following the time profile of the solar-wind speed inversely. Based on the radial gradient of the cosmic ray diffusion theory and under some other premises, such as the latitude dependence on diurnal variation and the inclusion of drift processes in the propagation of GCR, a semi-empirical description of the modulation is possible to do, and it hereafter is called as Toy-model. Although the Toy-model does not include fluctuations due to propagation in the atmosphere, it provides satisfactory results when compared with the PAO scaler mode data. We present details of these observations as well as the Toy-model validation.
Obtaining high-sensitivity measurements of degree-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization is the most direct path to detecting primordial gravitational waves. Robustly recovering any primordial signal from the dominant foreground emissio
n will require high-fidelity observations at multiple frequencies, with excellent control of systematics. We explore the potential for a new platform for CMB observations, the Airlander 10 hybrid air vehicle, to perform this task. We show that the Airlander 10 platform, operating at commercial airline altitudes, is well-suited to mapping frequencies above 220 GHz, which are critical for cleaning CMB maps of dust emission. Optimizing the distribution of detectors across frequencies, we forecast the ability of Airlander 10 to clean foregrounds of varying complexity as a function of altitude, demonstrating its complementarity with both existing (Planck) and ongoing (C-BASS) foreground observations. This novel platform could play a key role in defining our ultimate view of the polarized microwave sky.
It has been shown that supernova blast waves interacting with winds from massive stars in compact star clusters may be capable of producing cosmic-ray (CR) protons to above $10^{17}$ eV. We give a brief description of the colliding-shock-flows mechan
ism and look at generalizations of the diffusion of ~ 100 PeV CRs in the turbulent galactic magnetic field present in the galactic disk. We calculate the temporal evolution of the CR anisotropy from a possible distribution of young compact massive star clusters assuming the sources are intermittent on time scales of a few million years, i.e., comparable to their residence time in the Milky Way. Within the confines of our model, we determine the galactic/extra-galactic fraction of high-energy CRs resulting in anisotropies consistent with observed values. We find that galactic star clusters may contribute a substantial fraction of ~ 100 PeV CRs without producing anisotropies above observed limits.
We consider the modification of extragalactic cosmic ray spectrum caused by cosmic ray interactions with infrared background photons which are present in the extragalactic space together with relic photons. It is assumed that cosmic ray spectrum at s
uperhigh energies has extragalactic origin and is proton dominated.
