imulating the irradiation of planetary atmospheres by cosmic ray particles requires, among others, the ability to understand and to quantify the interactions of charged particles with planetary magnetic fields. Here we present a process that is very often ignored in such studies: the dispersion and focusing of cosmic ray trajectories in magnetospheres. The calculations were performed using our new code CosmicTransmutation, which has been developed to study cosmogenic nuclide production in meteoroids and planetary atmospheres and which includes the computation of the irradiation spectrum on top of the atmosphere. Here we discuss effects caused by dispersion and focusing of cosmic ray particle trajectories.
