LATITUDE EFFECT ON NEUTRON ALBEDO FLUX,

Abstract

The latitude effect on the neutron albedo flux, near solar minimum, is investigated. It is shown that the variation of counting rate of a neutron detector as a function of residual atmospheric pressure and of latitude is dependent on the 'efficiency versus energy' response of the detector employed. On the basis of the results obtained by the authors and other published data, a qualitative estimate is given of the variation of the albedo neutron energy spectrum and total flux, with geomagnetic cut-off rigidity.
