The Mysteries of Cosmic Ray Data: A Comprehensive Guide

[Tone L]

Hi, I am searching for cosmic ray data (justfrom the sun), and am having a hard time finding data sets.

Could someone give me a link or an idea to as where to look

I found many hits by Googling "cosmic ray datasets". What didn't you find that you are looking for? Also, how do you propose to tell whether a given cosmic ray is from the sun or somewhere else?

indeed
and with all the reading I have done sources of primary cosmic rays are mainly from outside the solar system, the sun being a very small contributor ...
active galactic cores, supernova, gamma ray bursts and quasars, being the main sourcesDave

We generally distinguish between solar particles (e.g., solar wind, solar protons, etc) from galactic cosmic radiation.
