The Atmospheric Influence on Cosmic-Ray-Induced Ionization and Absorbed Dose Rates

The Atmospheric Influence on Cosmic-Ray-Induced Ionization and Absorbed Dose Rates

When high-energy particles originating from space penetrate the atmosphere, they may interact with atoms and molecules, initiating air showers composed of secondary and tertiary particles propagating towards the ground. They can cause ionization of the atmosphere and contribute to the radiation dose...
