Features of the 11-year variation of galactic cosmic rays in different periods of solar magnetic cycles

Variations of galactic cosmic ray intensity have been studied based on the neutron monitors and interplanetary magnetic field experimental data for different ascending and descending epochs of solar activity. The dependence of the diffusion coefficient on the cosmic ray particles rigidity R is stronger in the maxima epoch than in the minima epoch of solar activity. For the period of 1977–1981 (qA > 0) the diffusion coefficient for the minimum epoch is, χ_min ∝ R^{0.7 ± 0.04} and for the maximum χ_max ∝ R^{1.3 ± 0.05}; for the period of 1987–1990 (qA < 0), χ_min ∝ R^{0.8 ± 0.05} and χ_max ∝ R^{1.1 ± 0.04}. The exponents ν_y and ν_z of the power spectral density of the B_y and B_z components of the IMF in the region of the frequencies (10⁻⁶– 4 × 10⁻⁶) Hz are larger for the minimum epoch of 1987 (ν_y ≈ 2.0 and ν_z ≈ 1.93) than for the maximum epoch of 1990 (ν_y ≈ 1.43 and ν_z ≈ 1.27).
