The Implication of the Helium-to-proton Flux Ratio in Galactic Cosmic Rays

The measurement of daily proton and helium fluxes by AMS-02 shows that the helium-to-proton flux ratio (He/H) is negatively correlated with the solar activity at rigidity 1.7–7 GV. What is the behavior of He/H at rigidity lower than 1.7 GV? How can this phenomenon be described quantitatively and lin...
