Abstract content
By the solar flare, a large number of solar protons are usually accelerated into
high energies. When the intensities of solar protons are very strong, they are
observed as a phenomenon, the Ground Level Enhancement (GLE). However,
it is used to be reported in the cosmic ray conferences how much percentage
they increased in comparison with the flux of the galactic cosmic rays.
In order to know how large solar flare arrived on the Earth at the first stage,
the quick analysis is enough, however when we want to reduce the energy
spectra of arrived protons, we will encounter a difficulty. The traditional
procedure is not enough.
The detectors are located at different places of the world, they are located at
different altitude, so the attenuation of neutrons and protons in the
atmosphere is different from each by each detector. We need correction taking
account of such a difference, when we will obtain the energy spectra of
protons. However the Monte Carlo calculation done by Shibata only gave the
attenuation curve in the atmosphere for neutrons with energies between 50
MeV to 1 GeV.
In this paper, we use two Monte Carlo simulation codes: the Geant 4 and the
CORSICA and try to obtain a very important and useful correction data for the
hadrons with energies 100MeV-1000GeV.
