DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. RYAN\, James (University of New Hampshire)\nTh
 e Milagro TeV ground-level gamma-ray telescope detects Forbush decreases\n
 in several of its data channels.  To understand how the instrument respond
 s\nto Forbush decreases\, one must calculate\, through simulations\, its b
 ehavior\nto a changing galactic cosmic-ray background as that background i
 s modulated\nby heliospheric activity.  To this end\, we have been modelin
 g the response\nof the instrument as a function of the Gleeson and Axford 
 heliospheric\nelectrostatic potential.  We will present ongoing progress i
 n modeling the\nOctober and November 2003 Forbush decreases using several 
 independent data\nchannels.  We will compare the results to the predicted 
 response of the\nClimax neutron monitor in nearby Colorado.\n\nhttps://ind
