Title High Angular Resoution Muon Telescope for Exploring the Temperature Profile of the Atmosphere
Authors Ivo Angelov 1, Elisaveta Malamova 2

Abstract

A high angular resolution muon telescope with 6m2 sensitive area based on 120 cherenkov detectors is proposed to be constructed and used for estimation of atmosphere parameters, and space weather investigations. The telescope is foreseen to be placed at ALOMAR observatory, Norway, and correlation of the variations of the cosmic rays muon flux with data sets from LIDARs, direct measurements from balloons, and magnetometer would be studied.
