Wide-aperture muon detector for diagnostics of the Earth’s atmosphere and magnetosphere

Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A wide-aperture large-area multilayered muon hodoscope is being constructed above the water Cherenkov calorimeter NEVOD (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute). This hodoscope is aimed at studying the processes in the Earth’s atmosphere and magnetosphere that lead to variations in the muon flux at the ground level. The structure of the detector and its data acquisition and triggering systems are described. Some preliminary results of the analysis of the data obtained using the first two supermodules of the system in the continuous series of measurements during 2005–2006 are discussed.
