Modulation effect of magnetic corotating trap on 27-day cosmic ray variation in November-December 2014

We study the 27-day cosmic-ray (CR) intensity variation occurring in November-December 2014, using ground-based measurements from the worldwide network of neutron monitors and GOES-15 satellites. A determining factor in the considerable difference between amplitudes of the 27-day CR variation in November-December 2014 is shown to be significant changes in energy losses taking place when particles move in regular heliospheric electromagnetic fields. In this period, there was a long-living corotating trap produced by a vast coronal hole in the south of the Sun in interplanetary space. Configuration of this trap induced the energy loss of ~3-20 GeV CRs, due to which ground-based neutron monitors recorded an abnormally large amplitude of the 27-day variation.
