HelMod is a Monte Carlo code developed to describe the transport of Galactic\nCosmic Rays (GCRs) through the heliosphere from the interstellar space to the\nEarth. In the current HelMod version 4 the modulation process, based on\nParker's equation, is applied to the propagation of GCRs in the inner and outer\nheliosphere, i.e., including the heliosheath. HelMod was proved to reproduce\nprotons, nuclei and electrons cosmic rays spectra observed during solar cycles\n23-24 by several detectors, for instance, PAMELA, BESS and AMS-02. In\nparticular, the unprecedented accuracy of AMS-02 observations allowed one a\nbetter tuning of the description regarding the solar modulation mechanisms\nimplemented in HelMod. In addition, HelMod demonstrated to be capable of\nreproducing the uxes observed by the Voyager probes in the inner and outer\nregions of heliosphere up to its border.\n
