Abstract:

BUEN Cosmic Ray Observatory BUENOS AIRES

Supplemental_Information:

Monitor type: IQSY-NM-64 Neutron Monitors, Closed IGY-Type Neutron Monitors, Closed Muon Detectors; Vertical Cutoff: 10. 63 GV; Altitude: Sea level; # of tubes: 18 tubes; TYPE OF EQUIPMENT AND CONFIGURATION: Muon telescope system consisting of 2 cubical telescopes, 2 vertical narrow angle telescopes and 2 inclined narrow angle telescopes. The direction of maximum sensitivity of the inclined telescopes was 45�. The entire system was mounted on a rotating platform. Initially, the system was rotated weekly with the inclined telescopes pointed North-South one week, and East-West the second week. Later the interval between rotations was lengthened to 6 months.; Comments: Data routinely submitted to the World Data Centers about 1 month after observations. Plans being made to publish the data in a special Centro Nacional de Radiacion Cosmica series. Data during IGY published in ""Cosmic-Ray Intensity During the International Geophysical Year"", National Committee for the International Geophysical Year, Science Council of Japan, Ueno Park, Tokyo, Japan, as follows: July-December 1957 Book No. 1, March 1959 January-June 1958 Book No. 2, December 1959 July-September 1958 Book No. 3, April 1960
