During the series of intense solar flares that occurred in May 2024, a remarkable Forbush decrease cosmic ray flux was observed on Earth by particle detectors around world. The Svalbard archipelago, which is located at polar latitudes, particularly exposed to geomagnetic storms because Earth's magnetic field provides weak shielding and therefore privileged observation point. In this contribution, we report an analysis event using data from unique combination muon neutron installed...
Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) is a technique to measure water content, for example soil moisture, on the hectare scale through measurement of epithermal neutrons. The neutrons are results  particle showers in earth's atmosphere caused by cosmic rays impinging it. abundance and global distribution changed time different factors. On largest scale, heliosphere therefore solar cycle greatly affect amount galactic that able reach earth. Large events, such as Forbush decreases, also...
Abstract Cosmic radiation on Earth responds to heliospheric, geomagnetic, atmospheric, and lithospheric changes. In order use its signal for soil hydrological monitoring, the of thermal epithermal neutron detectors needs be corrected external influencing factors. However, theories about response water, air pressure, humidity, incoming cosmic are still under debate. To challenge these theories, we isolated from almost any terrestrial changes by operating a bare moderated detector in buoy lake...
