Abstract

DANSS is a highly segmented detector, which contains 2500 one meter long plastic scintillator strips. The DANSS detector is placed under an industrial reactor of the Kalininskaya Nuclear Power Plant. The distance to the core is varied on-line from 10.7 to 12.7 m, and the primary task of the experiment is a search for short-distance neutrino oscillations. This work contains results of the cosmic muons study based on the data obtained with the DANSS detector. In order to achieve these results, the specific algorithm of muon track reconstruction with 97 % efficiency was developed. We also present some preliminary results on the annual variability in the flux of cosmic muons, an evaluation of the < Ethrcosθ > parameter and the correlation coefficient.
