*Title:* *Cosmic Rays and Space Weather: Interactions and Implications*
*Speaker*: Mihailo Savić,
Institute of Physics Belgrade

*Abstract*:
Cosmic-ray physics may not strictly fall under the umbrella of space
weather, but it is deeply
interconnected with it, sharing significant overlaps in phenomenology,
instrumentation, analysis
techniques, and related disciplines. One of the most evident connections is
the modulation of
cosmic rays by heliospheric phenomena driven by solar activity. Variations
in the Sun’s magnetic field, solar wind, and transient disturbances—such as
coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar energetic particle (SEP)
events—alter the flux of cosmic rays reaching Earth. Consequently,
cosmic-ray detectors serve as valuable tools for studying space weather,
providing indirect yet critical insights into solar and interplanetary
conditions. This is particularly relevant for assessing space weather
effects on the near-Earth environment and predicting potential hazards to
infrastructure and human activity.
Beyond their utility as space weather proxies, cosmic rays also exert a
direct, though subtler,
influence on Earth’s environment. At high altitudes, cosmic rays contribute
to radiation exposure, affecting airline crews, frequent fliers, and, more
critically, astronauts in space. Their interactions with the atmosphere
produce secondary particles that can impact biological systems and
electronic instrumentation, posing challenges for high-altitude aircraft,
satellites, and space missions. Furthermore, cosmic rays have been
associated with various climate-related and geophysical effects.
Given these multifaceted connections, this talk will present key areas of
interest in cosmic-ray
research, the analytical methods and techniques developed, and their
contributions to a broader
understanding of space weather phenomena. Integrating cosmic-ray studies
with space weather research enhances the ability to monitor and predict
space weather impacts, improves the understanding of cosmic ray-induced
effects on Earth’s environment, and refines methodologies applied in both
fields.
