Cosmic-ray measurements in Antarctica during the international Solar-Terrestrial Energy Program

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento C

Summary

Concomitant with the development of the international collaboration on STEP (Solar-Terrestrial Energy Program: 1990–1995) the Universities of Chile and ofMagallanes have proposed to the Chilean Antarctic Institute (INACH) an experimental research to study the cosmic radiation on the Austral ground. The project, which has been approved to start in 1991, consists in the installation of a 6-NM-64 on the T.te Marsh Base (geographic latitude: ∼62 South, longitude: ∼59 West, King George Island). The scientific objectives related to the project are briefly described.
