Abstract: | Variations in the rigidity spectrum and anisotropy of cosmic rays during ground level enhancement (GLE) on January 6, 2014, is investigated using ground-based observations of cosmic rays (CRs) from the worldwide network of stations and spacecraft measurements obtained via a spectrographic global survey. The CR rigidity spectrum and relative variations in the intensity of CRs with rigidity of 4 GV are presented in the solar–ecliptic geocentric coordinate system in certain periods of the investigated event. It is shown that protons were accelerated during this GLE up to a particle rigidity of R ~ 2.4 GV. In the ~0.3 to ~2.4 GV range of rigidity, the CR differential rigidity spectra during the considered event were described by neither a power function nor an exponential function of particle rigidity. At the time of GLE, the Earth was in a loop-like IMF structure. |
