Abstract
We analyse cosmic ray hits impacting the detector system of the Coronal Dia gnostic Spectrometer aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spacecra ft. These observations allow us to study the modulation of cosmic rays over a 4 year period (1996-2000) running from solar minimum to maximum, from a Sun-Earth L1 Lagrangian orbit. The modulation, at the 45-50% level is consi stent with cosmic rays of energy 1 GeV.
