The results show that the proton flux is smooth and exhibits no sharp structures with rigidity. The detailed variation with rigidity of the flux spectral index is presented. The spectral index is progressively hardening at high rigidities. Solar effects are also discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-27T10:32:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "primary cosmic rays", "proton flux", "international space station", "alpha magnetic spectrometer", "precision measurement" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
