The work is devoted to modeling the interaction of solar cosmic rays (SCR) with the heliospheric current sheet (GTS) in the solar wind (SW). The proposed kinetic self-consistent model GTS dynamics of ions is considered quasi–adiabatic, and GTS is considered as the equilibrium current nested structure with low-energy background plasma SW and the high–energy plasma SCR. The numerical experiment shows that the GTS is the current structure of the multi–thin embedded in a wider plasma layer. Thus, in the GTS typically present shear (along the flow) of the magnetic field component. The presence of high-energy particles in cosmic rays SCR changes GTS structure. The solutions for different temperatures of SCR and the high–energy plasma concentrations at which there may be significant in satellite studies thickening GTS.
