Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We present and discuss the cosmic ray increases detected with the CARPET cosmic ray instrument during several solar flares in 2011-2013.The CARPET cosmic ray detector was installed at El Leoncito Astronomical Complex (CASLEO; Argentina) in 2006.We compare the CARPET data with the X-ray and proton data from GOES and FERMI measurements as well as with the RHESSI observations.The neutron monitor network cosmic ray measurements are also included in the analysis.We summarize the common features of the recorded events and discuss their association with solar flare activity and near-Earth conditions.
