Monte Carlo Simulation of the Neutron Monitor and Position-Dependent Bare Neutron Counter Yield Functions at Mawson Station, Antarctica 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference, 2024 (Ref: 17183)
Category 3: Conference paper

Neutron monitors (NMs) are ground-based detectors that are widely used to detect secondary particles produced by the collisions of primary cosmic rays (CRs) and air molecules in the Earth's atmosphere. Bare neutron counters (BCs), operated without the lead producer and polyethylene reflector…

Cross-counter time-delay distributions at the Mawson neutron monitor Proceedings of 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference, 2024 (Ref: 17184)
Category 3: Conference paper

For decades, neutron monitors have been the primary source of ground-level data for studying cosmic rays with rigidities slightly above the geomagnetic cutoff. The NM64 instrument design, the standard for neutron monitors, has been optimized to monitor neutrons produced in atmospheric cascades.

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Galactic cosmic-ray spectrum manifests pronounced variations over the 11 yr sunspot cycle and more subtle variations over the 22 yr solar magnetic cycle. An important tool to study these variations is repeated latitude surveys with neutron monitors (NMs)…

Analysis of Cosmic Rays' Atmospheric Effects and Their Relationships to Cutoff Rigidity and Zenith Angle Using Global Muon Detector Network Data Journal of Geophysical Research - Space Physics, 2019 (Ref: 16881)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Cosmic rays are charged particles whose flux observed at Earth shows temporal variations related to space weather phenomena and may be an important tool to study them. The cosmic ray intensity recorded with ground-based detectors also shows temporal variations arising from atmospheric variations.

Cosmic Ray Flux at the Recent Solar Minimum. Session 3F, 19th Australian Institute of Physics Congress, 5-9 December 2010 Extended Abstracts CD., 2010 (Ref: 14281)
Category 3: Abstract

After an unusually (for recent solar cycles) long absence, sunspots of solar cycle 24 started to appear late in 2009. Cosmic ray activity monitored at Earth has an inverse … relationship with the sunspot cycle, being maximum at solar … minimum.
