Abstract

We simulated the galactic cosmic rays’ particles propagation in the Earth’s magnetosphere, given by the IGRF and CHAOS magnetic field models, while the second of them additionally has a lithospheric field component that is absent in the first model. The power spectra of the flux of galactic cosmic rays at a fixed height above the Earth’s surface are obtained and their difference is found for large orders of the multipole expansion, l > 7. For l > 20, the result can be explained by the contribution of the lithospheric component of the magnetic field in the CHAOS model compared to IGRF, and for l > 20, the difference in the accuracy of the description of the main field, since IGRF is limited to the 13th order of expansion.
