Observations of Galactic Cosmic Ray Intensity from 1.0 to 2.0 a.u. Heliocentric Radial Distance,

Abstract

From observations with the Jupiter-bound spacecraft Pioneer 10 it is found that the integral intensity of the galactic cosmic radiation (E(p) > 80 MeV) varied by less than 3% (either + or -) over the heliocentric radial range 1.0 to 2.0 a. u. during the epoch March-July 1972. (Author)
