Study with Sun Shadow Observed by the ARGO-YBJ experiment 祝凤荣 2010.07 @NOA Content ARGO-YBJ experiment Motivation Measurement of IMF with the ARGO Solar magnetic field Summary ARGO-YBJ collaboration Current status Data taking since Jul. 2006 Duty cycle ~ 90% Trigger rate 3.6 kHz Dead time 3% 220 GB/day transferred to IHEP 1. Motivation Solar magnetic measurement ASr result 1. Sun’s shadow is strongly affected by the solar and interplanetary magnetic fields changing with the solar activity. 2. Near solar minimum, the displacement of the Sun’s shadow in the east-west direction is mostly caused by the effect of the dipole component of the solar magnetic field. When the dipole directions of the Sun and the Earth are parallel the Sun shadow would shift to west (in 2008-2009), otherwise when they are anti-parallel the two component will cancelled (in 1996-1997). 3. The displacement in the north-south direction is due to the effect of the IMF. The shadow will be shifted to the north by the away (from the Sun) IMF and to the south by the toward (to the Sun) IMF. Motivation Solar surface is measured everyday by ground based detector. But, from surface to 2.6 Rsun, the chromospheres magnetic field measurement is difficult, usually the surface measurement is extrapolated under some hypothesis (Like the PFSS model). Cosmic ray shadow by solar maybe provide some information about the magnetic of this region, like defected ratio. From 2.5 Rsun to 1 AU, only measurement at 1 AU. The IMF usually is assumed a simple Archimedean spiral configuration as the Sun rotates. Sun shadow displacement could measure the magnetic of this region. ARGO-YBJ have a higher event rate and wider sensitive energy range , so we could check ASr result, measure sun shadow short term variations and its energy dependence. Our final aim? is to give some independent quantitative measurement of the solar magnetic. Sun shadow of 44.6σ Clear Off set of the position in N-S There is almost not
