CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) captures charge-sign dependent cosmic ray modulation.

Caption

In a new study by the CALET collaboration, researchers from Japan demonstrate that cosmic ray electron count rates are significantly more affected than that of protons due to the drift effect on the long-term solar modulation.
