Energetic particle data from space and in the atmosphere — •B. Heber — Institut für Experimentelle und Angewandte Physik, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Germany

The Extraterrestrial Physics division of the University of Kiel (CAU), Germany has more than 50 years of experience in building and analyzing energetic particle instruments for space missions. A wealth of energetic particle data from different interplanetary missions like Ulysses, SOHO and STEREO are available. In addition our group runs a neutron monitor as well as a muon telescope on ground and performed several measurements in aircraft and on balloons. Here we discuss different projects that could be realized based on such data sets. Among them are the determination of the Pfotzer maximum from Balloon measurements, the dependence of the measured particle flux on the geomagnetic latitude at sea level and at flight altitudes and the impact of solar activity on energetic particles and cosmic rays.
