Compact Geiger Counters as Additional Tools for Verifying Models of Cosmic Ray Transport through the Earth’s Atmosphere

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

Abstract

Descriptions and technical characteristics are given for compact Geiger counters designed to verify calculations of cosmic ray transport through the Earth’s atmosphere . Results are presented in the form of a comparison of the altitude profiles of count rates of charged particles, obtained via modeling and field experiments.
