Fluxes of anomalous cosmic rays near the earth at the end of the 22nd solar cycle
Results found from the exposure of solid-state track detectors on earth satellites in 1993-1994 are reported. At the end of the 22nd solar activity cycle, long before the next expected minimum of solar activity, fluxes of ions of anomalous cosmic rays appeared near the earth. These fluxes continue to exist stably. They are comparable in magnitude to the fluxes observed in 1987, at the time of the last minimum. The characteristics of these fluxes are similar to those found in 1987. They indicate that a Van Allen belt has formed in the earth's magnetosphere from ions of the anomalous component of galactic cosmic rays. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
