Abstract

An array of scintillation detectors of the MONICA Spectrometer, whis is aimed at investigating fluxes of cosmic-ray ions (from H to Ni) in the extraterrestrial space within the energy range from 10 to 300 MeV per nucleon, is considered. The basic goal of the MONICA experiment is the measurement of the ionic and isotopic composition of cosmic rays of the galactic and solar origin, as well as the measurement of their energy spectrum. This problem was intensely studied by numerous investigators [1–10]; nevertheless, a lot of questions remain unsolved up to now, in this field of science. The array of scintillation detectors plays the important role in achieving the goals of the MONICA experiment. The composition of the array, tuning procedure, and characteristics of scintillation detectors are discussed in detail.
