The mini-neutron monitor: A new approach in neutron monitor design
Du Toit Strauss, Stepan Poluianov, Cobus van der Merwe +15
The near-Earth cosmic ray flux has been monitored for more than 70 years by a network of ground-based neutron monitors (NMs). With the ever-increasing importance of quantifying the…
Data Acquisition Architecture and Online Processing System for the HAWC gamma-ray observatory
HAWC collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro +105
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov observatory (HAWC) is an air shower array devised for TeV gamma-ray astronomy. HAWC is located at an altitude of 4100 m a.s.l. in Sierra Negra, Me…
On the Pulse Shape of Ground Level Enhancements
R. D. Strauss, O. Ogunjobi, H. Moraal +2
We study the temporal intensity profile, or pulse shape, of cosmic ray ground level enhancements (GLEs) by calculating the rise and decay times fo…
The cosmic-ray ground-level enhancements of 29 September 1989 and 20 January 2005
H. Moraal, R. A. Caballero-Lopez, K. G. McCracken
Enhancements of the comic-ray intensity as observed by detectors on the ground have been observed 71 times since 1942. They are due to solar energetic particles accelerated in the…
