Latitudinal Dependence of Cosmic Rays Modulation at 1 AU and
  Interplanetary-Magnetic-Field Polar Correction
  The cosmic rays differential intensity inside the heliosphere, for energy
below 30 GeV/nuc, depends on solar activity and interplanetary magnetic field
polarity. This variation, termed solar modulation, is described using a 2-D
(radius and colatitude) Monte Carlo approach for solving the Parker transport
equation that includes diffusion, convection, magnetic drift and adiabatic
energy loss. Since the whole transport is strongly related to the
interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) structure, a better understanding of his
description is needed in order to reproduce the cosmic rays intensity at the
Earth, as well as outside the ecliptic plane. In this work an interplanetary
magnetic field model including the standard description on ecliptic region and
a polar correction is presented. This treatment of the IMF, implemented in the
HelMod Monte Carlo code (version 2.0), was used to determine the effects on the
differential intensity of Proton at 1\,AU and allowed one to investigate how
latitudinal gradients of proton intensities, observed in the inner heliosphere
with the Ulysses spacecraft during 1995, can be affected by the modification of
the IMF in the polar regions.
