Muon diagnostics of the Earth’s atmosphere and magnetosphere

Abstract

A method of distant monitoring of the Earth’s magnetosphere and atmosphere is described, which is based on the close correlation between the modulations in the flux of atmospheric muons detected at the Earth’s surface and the dynamic processes in the Earth’s magnetosphere and atmosphere and implies the use of large-area muon hodoscopes with high angular accuracy of muon detection. The results of the analysis of the experimental data obtained on the muon hodoscopes used at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute show that muon detection at the Earth’s surface in the hodoscopic mode gives a qualitatively new information about the main sources of muon flux modulation.
