50–200 GV cosmic rays at various heliolatitudes

We consider regular motion of 50 – 200 GV particles in a large-scale interplanetary magnetic field model which contains a wavy neutral sheet responsible for the sector-structure. Numerical calculations based upon energy losses along various trajectories are carried out to obtain the predicted omni-directional density and anisotropy of cosmic rays at various solar latitudes. A marked difference is found between odd and even solar cycles. The post-1969 field configuration gives small radial and large latitudinal gradient: cosmic ray density increases toward the poles. The latitudinal gradient turns out smaller and of opposite sense for the pre-1969 epoch. Anisotropy changes dramatically as we move off the solar equator: corotation appears to be restricted to low latitudes.
