Abstract

A compact new neutron detector based on SNM-18 neutron counters is described. The first results obtained in ground-based neutron flux measurements are discussed. An array of several such detectors can provide experimental data for investigating high-energy phenomena on the Sun and dynamic processes in the Earth’s atmosphere.
