Cosmic-ray heavy ions contributions to the atmospheric radiation field

Although heavy ions constitute only ∼1% of the total cosmic ray flux, they can make a significant contribution to the radiation field in the upper atmosphere. This contribution is evaluated by MC simulations within the QARM framework.
