Мюонные телескопы полярных станций Апатиты и Баренцбург для наблюдений малых вариаций космических лучей

Abstract

The first results of the operation of a pair of muon telescopes installed at the Apatity and Barentsburg stations (Svalbard) in addition to the existing neutron monitors are presented. A technique for separating small variations against the background of stronger variations caused by solar activity is proposed. With its help, a small anisotropy of cosmic rays between the directions of reception of muon telescopes was revealed. It is still difficult to judge the reasons for such anisotropy, since the period of solar activity is 11 years, and observations were made for just over a year
