    COSMIC RAY EVENTS RELATED TO SOLAR ACTIVITY RECORDED AT THE ATHENS NEUTRON MONITOR STATION FOR THE PERIOD 2000–2003

    In this work a complete study of 359 solar flares, 111 Halo coronal mass ejections (Halo CMEs) and 45 Partial Halo events occurred from November 2000 to November 2003, is considered. This time period characterized by an unexpected activity of the Sun, was divided into 27-day intervals starting from Bartels Rotation No. 2284 (14.10.2000) to No. 2324 (25.11.2003), generating diagrams of the cosmic ray intensity data recorded at the Athens Neutron Monitor Station. On these qualitative data presented for the first time, a mapping of all available solar and interplanetary events, such as solar flares with importance C, M and X, coronal mass ejections (Halo and Partial) was done. The existence of a connection between solar flares with CMEs and the respective connection to the Forbush effects on yearly and monthly basis are discussed. The role of extreme solar events occurred in March-April 2001 and in October-November 2003 is also considered.

    Solar neutrinos as indicators of the Sun’s activity

    Opportunity of the solar flares (SFs) prediction observing the solar neutrino fluxes is investigated. In three neutrino generations, the evolution of the neutrino flux traveling the coupled sunspots (CSs) which are the SF source is considered. It is assumed that the neutrinos possess both the dipole magnetic moment and the anapole moment while the magnetic field above the CSs may reach the values 105106 Gs, display the twisting nature and posses the nonpotential character. The possible resonance conversions of the solar neutrino flux are examined. Since the νeLνμL resonance takes place before the convective zone, its existence can in no way be connected with the SF. However, when the solar neutrino flux moves through the CSs in the preflare period, then it may undergo the additional resonance conversions and, as a result, depleting the electron neutrinos flux may be observed.
