Abstract
Day-to-day variations of cosmic-ray-produced neutron fluxes near the Earth's ground surface are measured by using three sets of paraffin-moderated BF 3 counters, which are installed in the different locations; 3 m above ground, ground level and 20 cm under ground, respectively. Neutron flux decreases observed by these counters when snowcover exists show that there are upward-moving neutrons, that is, ground albedo neutrons near the ground surface. The amount of albedo neutrons is estimated to be about 40% of total neutron flux in the energy range 1–10 6 eV.
