Abstract :

We report the variation of secondary cosmic gamma ray flux during celestial event Venus transit on June 6, 2012at Udaipur. The collected data as a function of time using ground based NaI(Tl) scintillation detector were taken. The data analysis showed the decrease in secondary cosmic gamma ray flux on June 6, 2012 during the Venus transit of about2 % due to blocking of solar energetic particle (SEP) on the Earth.
