Space environment (natural and artificial) — Cosmic ray and solar energetic particle penetration inward the magnetosphere — Method of determination of the effective vertical cut-off rigidity ISO 17520:2024

Scope

This document describes the effective vertical cut-off rigidities of charged particles for near-Earth space and establishes principal requirements for their calculation based on different models of Earth’s geomagnetic field.[1] The techniques are useful for determination of penetrating into the Earth's magnetosphere by charged particle fluxes, as well as for test and estimations of the impact on spacecrafts and other equipment in the near-Earth space.
