A general conclusion is that the cosmic rays increase with increasing distance from the Sun at approximately 2 percent a.u. There is a strong correlation of the cosmic ray intensity with distance with the tilt of the heliospheric current sheet. Moreover, researchers find that the variation of the cosmic rays with time changes in alternate sun spot cycles. Finally, it seems that during alternate sun spot minima (1965 and 1985) the cosmic rays access to the inner solar system was along the equatorial current sheet, wheras in 1975 the cosmic rays came in over the poles. The recently discovered anomalous component of cosmic rays is very much related to this whole problem, and probably corresponds to particles being accelerated at the termination of the solar wind at some 50 to 100 astonomical units from the sun. In summary, many predictions of the models remain controversial in detail. Nonetheless, it appears now that we can expect more cosmic rays over the poles in the next sunspot cycle, and the intensity will continue to increase with heliocentric radius out to the interstellar medium.
