Summary
The high altitude Dome C site offers excellent prospects for cosmic ray observations at low to moderate energies. A neutron monitor, based on the standard NM64 counter or on the new Helium counter technology could be an important addition to the worldwide monitor network. An in-ice high zenith angle muon telescope could be installed using ice as the absorber. The system would observe at depths greater than the Mawson underground system and would thus be complimentary to it. Design considerations and descriptions of the research that could be addressed by both instruments will be presented.
