This volume gives a comprehensive and integrated overview of
current knowledge about cosmic rays in the heliosphere. It is the
result of a workshop at ISSI, where experimental space physicists
as well as theorists presented and discussed their views on the
behaviour of cosmic rays during the currently prevalent solar
minimum conditions, when the heliosphere has a well-ordered and
relatively simple configuration. An unprecedented array of
spacecraft - Ulysses, Pioneer, Voyager, IMP-8, Wind, to name a few
- in conjunction with ever more sophisticated numerical models made
this possible, gave us our first clear view of the
three-dimensional heliosphere at solar minimum, and have
significantly advanced our knowledge. The status of the field is
first presented in a series of introductory papers; these are
followed by four Working Group reports attempting to synthesise
this knowledge, make progress in our understanding, and point out
directions of future research. A summary of the parameters used in
cosmic ray modulation and an epilogue on conditions and
consequences expected at the upcoming solar maximum conclude the
volume. The book is intended to provide active researchers in space
physics with an up-to-date status report and also to introduce the
advanced graduate student to the field.
