DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Iliya Lagoida (NRNU MEPHI)\nA special phenomenon in 
 the physics of cosmic rays\, called Forbush decrease (FD)\, or Forbush eff
 ect was discovered in 1937 by S. Forbush. FD is a sudden supression of gal
 actic cosmic rays (GCRs) intensity near the Earth. However\, despite long 
 term of  investigations  the nature of this phenomenon is still not comple
 tely understood. Today\, this effect is investigated mostly by the neutron
  monitors and muon hodoscopes\, which are located on the    surface of the
  Earth. But these monitors can detect only interaction products of GCRs wi
 th the Earth atmosphere. Therefore\, investigations of this effect using t
 he detectors which are installed on the sattelites\, allow to obtain more 
 accurate information about the characteristics of FD. PAMELA experiment co
 nducted research on board of the satellite for 10 years allowed to investi
 gate the characteristics of the GCRs during FDs which occurred during the 
 experiment. The possibility of investigation of this effect is shown on FD
 s which were registered in december 2006 and march 2012.\n\nhttps://indico
