Abstract
The main purpose of this experiment is to make accurate measurements of the primary cosmic ray energy spectrum and of the way in which this spectrum changes as a result of modulation by the inter-planetary magnetic field. The cosmic ray intensity will be measured as a function of latitude and longitude using Geiger-Muller counters, which respond to the total flux of primary particles, and a Cerenkov counter, which responds only to the heavy primaries with a charge of six or greater. An outline of the physical background to the experiment is given, together with a description of the sensor and its associated electronics.
