Title
Progress report on the intercalibration of the world's neutron monitors
Abstract
Two calibration neutron monitors were designed for calibrating the ∼ 40 stationary neutron monitors around the world in order to obtain rigidity spectra. One calibrator was sent to Kiel (P c = 2.36 GV), Germany, and later to Doi Inthanon (P c = 16.8 GV), Thailand. The other calibrator was transported to Antarctica to calibrate the NM64 and NMD at SANAE (P c = 0.73 GV). Both calibrators were calibrated against each other and the IGY in Potchefstroom (P c = 6.94 GV), South Africa. Initial results on the intercalibration of these four stationary neutron monitors are reported.
