Abstract
Abstract—This paper presents a description of the new CARPET facility for detecting the charged component of cosmic rays, as well as its technical characteristics; it was designed and installed at the Dolgoprudny Scientific Station of the Lebedev Physical Institute (DNS of the Lebedev Physical Institute). The detecting base of the CARPET facility consists of STS-6 gas-discharge counters combined in 12 units with ten counters in each. The upper counter layer is separated from the lower counter layer by an aluminum filter with a thickness of 7 mm. The integration time of these counters is 1 ms. Continuous monitoring of meteorological data and data on the state of the supply voltage of the facility occur. The results of determining the barometric coefficient for the CARPET and analysis of the first experimental data are also presented.
