Relationship between magnetic rigidity cutoff and chaotic behavior in cosmic ray time series using visibility graph and network analysis techniques

Cosmic rays are highly energetic particles originating from astrophysical events outside the Solar System. In this study, we analyze the time series of cosmic ray flux measured by neutron detectors at 16 monitoring stations distributed worldwide. By applying visibility graph analysis, we explore the...

Description
Summary:Cosmic rays are highly energetic particles originating from astrophysical events outside the Solar System. In this study, we analyze the time series of cosmic ray flux measured by neutron detectors at 16 monitoring stations distributed worldwide. By applying visibility graph analysis, we explore the relationship between the magnetic rigidity cutoff (Rc ) and the fractality exhibed from topology of the cosmic ray time series. Our results reveal a significant association between the magnetic rigidity cutoff and the fractality of the cosmic ray time series. Specifically, the analysis of visibility graphs and network properties demonstrates that the magnetic rigidity is inversely related to the magnetic rigidity cutoff. The identified relationship between magnetic rigidity and fractality provides insights into the chaotic nature of cosmic ray variations and their potential uses for predictability.
