Abstract
In association with a large solar flare on November 7, 2004, the solar neutron detectors located at Mt. Chacaltaya (5,250m) in Bolivia and Mt. Sierra Negra (4,600m) in Mexico recorded very interesting events. In order to explain these events, we have performed a calculation solving the equation of motion of anti-protons inside the magnetosphere. Based on these results, the Mt. Chacaltaya event may be explained by the detection of solar neutrons, while the Mt. Sierra Negra event may be explained by the first detection of very high energy solar neutron decay protons (SNDPs) around 6 GeV.
