Abstract

The Neutron Detector facility for detecting the neutral component of cosmic rays has been developed by the Dolgoprudny Scientific Station of the Lebedev Physical Institute. The description and performance characteristics of the facility are presented. Each module of the facility is based on SNM-18 counters. Unlike standard neutron monitors, this facility is sensitive to thermal neutrons. The integration time of the counters is 1 ms. The function of continuous monitoring of meteorological data and data on the state of the supply voltages of the facility has been created. The results of the barometric-coefficient determination for the Neutron Detector facility and the analysis of the first experimental data are also presented.
