Abstract

Expressions have been obtained for the Geometrical Sensitivity as a function of the zenith angle of a cosmic ray telescope comprising of counter trays of rectangular dimensions. The Radiation Sensitivity and Cumulative Sensitivity have also been calculated, assuming a zenith angle attenuation of the form Iθ=Iθ.cos2θ for cosmic ray intensity.
