Scientific paper

Observations of phase lags between intensity variations for various particle species and energy ranges in the low-energy galactic cosmic radiation during the general intensity decrease observed in 1974-1975 show that, for particles whose charge state is known (i.e., 'normal' cosmic-ray components), particles with higher rigidities respond more quickly to changes in modulation conditions than do those with lower rigidities. When compared with particles of known energy and charge, the behavior of the 'anomalous' low-energy helium component is consistent with these observations only if the helium is singly rather than doubly charged.
