Abstract

For over 60 years, neutron monitors have remained the main standard, stable instrument for the measurement of cosmic rays with energies from 400 MeV to hundreds of GeV. In order to obtain sufficiently complete information about the distribution of cosmic rays outside the magnetosphere, it is necessary to have a network of detectors that are fairly evenly spaced around the globe. One of the most useful methods to obtain the properties of the angular distribution of cosmic rays without decomposition into harmonics is the ring of station method. It allows one to obtain the instantaneous (more precisely, hourly) longitudinal distribution of the intensity of cosmic rays without its modeling. The main goal of this work is to expand the use of the ring of station method, a convenient and useful method for the study of cosmic ray variations.

研究宇宙射线变化的台环法：1.概述

摘要

60多年来，中子监测仪一直是用于测量能量从400 MeV到数百GeV的宇宙射线的主要标准，稳定的仪器。为了获得有关磁层外宇宙射线分布的足够完整的信息，有必要拥有一个在全球范围内均匀分布的探测器网络。在不分解为谐波的情况下获得宇宙射线角分布特性的最有用的方法之一就是环站法。它允许人们获得宇宙射线强度的瞬时（更精确地说，每小时）纵向分布，而无需进行建模。这项工作的主要目的是扩大台环法的应用范围，这种方法是研究宇宙射线变化的一种方便而有用的方法。
