electromagnetism - How strong a magnetic field would be needed to deflect cosmic rays?



How strong a magnetic field would be needed to deflect cosmic rays?


For example, lets imagine we wanted to protect the occupants of the International Space Station from cosmic rays. I assume we would need to create some kind of electromagnetic shield (or electrostatic shield). How powerful would these need to be?
