Abstract

Using dynamic paraboloid model of Earth's magnetosphere, a large set of particles' trajectory computations was performed. Based on its result, the numerical algorithm for calculating effective cutoff rigidity dependence on empiric parameters has been developed for further use in magnetospheric transmission calculations.
