Whendoes“ChargeDependence(Drift)” appear? The solid line represents the FF approximation at the response energy 11GeV , while the dashed line is an expected curve of negative particles from the drift model in the solar quiet period of A>0, which is just estimated qualitatively.
ElectronModulatedSpectrum Solar Magnetic fieldafter 2010’S Galactic electrons diffuse in the solar magnetic field and convected by solar wind in the heliosphere. The diffusion coefficient is smaller than that in the interstellar space by several orders of magnitude.

Expected Numbers of Electrons ( < 10 GeV ) • Measurements for Long-Term Variation of Electron Spectrum If the exposure factor is 40 m2・sr・min and the modulation parameter is φ= 500 – 1000 MV , Expected Number of Electrons ~ 17,000 in the energy range of 2 – 12 GeV We divide GeV region into “three“ Energy ranges. Each range has a statistical error of 1 – 2%. Measurements for ForbushDecreases(Fds) If the exposure factor is 5 m2・sr・min, Expected Number of Electrons ~ 2,000 in the energy rang e of 2 – 12 GeV Total number of Northern and Southern measurement of 10min gives statistical error within 2%.
