Monte Carlo analysis of the solar-wind modulation of galactic C-N-O at solar maximum

A previous (Moss and Giuli, 1971) Monte Carlo analysis of the solar-wind modulation of galactic cosmic-ray rigidity spectra is extended to include particles in the C-N-O group. A solar cavity 'radius' of 7 AU is found to be consistent with observations of the C-N-O component at solar maximum. The variation in modulation between solar maximum and solar minimum may be explained solely by variation of the solar cavity size, with no change in the scattering mean free path.
