A model for proton interaction in the atmosphere including fluxes of generated electrons

In this paper we analyse from a new point of view the energy deposition due to precipitated protons when they interact with the atmospheric components. The method described presents a different way of calculating the proton interaction and allows us to obtain the production rate and fluxes of the ge...

Zusammenfassung:In this paper we analyse from a new point of view the energy deposition due to precipitated protons when they interact with the atmospheric components. The method described presents a different way of calculating the proton interaction and allows us to obtain the production rate and fluxes of the generated electrons as function of height and energy. Also the model gives the possibility of estimating independently the effects of protons and resulting secondary and tertiary electrons in protons events.
