Castilla-La Mancha neutron monitor

Abstract

This work presents the ongoing development of the new Castilla-La Mancha Neutron Monitor located in the Science and Technology Park of Guadalajara (Spain). The instrument is integrated by fifteen proportional counter tubes. Three of them are old tubes of the well-known BP28 standard. The other twelve are the new tubes (model 2061) manufactured by LND Inc. (USA), which intend to provide a valid replacement for the old BP28 model. Testing results of the new detector cross calibration between BP28 and LND2061 counters and comparison with other stations in the Neutron Monitor Data Base are presented.
