29 Jul 2020 | | Abstract: | The near-Earth cosmic ray flux has been monitored for more than 70 years by a
network of ground-based neutron monitors (NMs). With the ever-increasing
importance of quantifying the radiation risk and effects of cosmic rays for,
e.g., air and space-travel, it is essential to continue operating the existing
NM stations, while expanding this crucial network. In this paper, we discuss a
smaller and cost-effective version of the traditional NM, the mini-NM. These
monitors can be deployed with ease, even to extremely remote locations, where
they operate in a semi-autonomous fashion. We believe that the mini-NM,
therefore, offers the opportunity to increase the sensitivity and expand the
coverage of the existing NM network, making this network more suitable to
near-real-time monitoring for space weather applications. In this paper, we
present the technical details of the mini-NM’s design and operation, and
present a summary of the initial tests and science results. | | Source: | arXiv, 2007.14711 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
