Figure 2. Cosmic-ray neutron monitor locations. Note that rigidity is the momentum of a particle divided by its charge. An alpha particle with the same momentum per nucleon as a proton will have twice its rigidity per nucleon, as half the nucleons are uncharged. (From the University of Chicago web site [Odysseus, 1989]).
