Cosmic Ray data at the ASI Space Science Data Center

Tools for an easy and efficient access to data from missions devoted to cosmic ray measurements are under development at the Space Science Data Center, a facility of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) that provides support to several space missions and acts as a multi-mission science operation, data processing and data archiving center. To ensure a more extensive utilisation of space data from existing, archived and future missions, on-line access to archival data, analysis software, calibration files and documentation are provided by a MultiMission Interactive Archive (MMIA) of the Space Science Data Center. Space data from different missions and in different research fields (astro-physics, astro-particle, cosmology, planetology) are connected in the MMIA in order to stimulate their cross-analysis and comparison.
In this context, tools for accessing cosmic ray data are under development. In particular, the new ASI Cosmic Ray DataBase (CRDB) is maintained, that includes published data from missions dedicated to charged cosmic rays measurements. Originally developed to support the retrieval of PAMELA and AMS-02 results, it is now expanded, including more data sets from other experiments, and it is evolving to provide new tools for data retrieval, interactive data visualisation and download. As an example, measurements of differential energy fluxes and flux ratios for the different species are available as a function of various parameters (e.g. energy, rigidity, time, magnetic parameters), for particles of galactic and solar origin, as well as particles trapped in the Earth magnetosphere. Data are ready for retrieval, visualisation and download.
In this contribution, we will introduce the main features of the CRDB, accessible online at https://tools.asdc.asi.it/CosmicRays/, the perspectives for its future development and briefly describe additional tools in preparation, aiming to provide more information about the near Earth radiation environment.
