A Performance

In this paper we analyze application of contemporary methods of insulation co-ordination and the enlargement law in designing a GM counting tube. It has been shown that by applying insulation co-ordination methods the counting tube can be optimally dimensioned. The application of the enlargement law was demonstrated in generalizing the results of test obtained by the GM tube to those obtained by the counting tube with m-times greater dimensions. The investigations were conducted both theoretically and by experiment. Using theoretical analysis, we derived the expressions that may be applied if a performance function of a random variable breakdown voltage is known. The experiments were conducted on a GM counter model under well controlled laboratory conditions.

The Antarctic

A pair of neutron monitors (NMs) is installed on the high Central Antarctic plateau, at the Concordia station (3200 m altitude) and measures the nucleonic component of nucleonic-muon-electromagnetic cascades in- duced by high-energy cosmic rays in the atmosphere. The installation includes two NMs: DOMC, a standard mini-NM, and a bare (lead-free) DOMB NM. The newly installed data acquisition (DAQ) system records in- dividual pulses corresponding to mostly neutrons in the detector’s counting tube. Here we analyze different types of pulses and study the distribution of the waiting times between individual pulses as well as the pulse height, recorded by the DOMC NM during a quiet period of January 2020. The distribution appears double- peaked with peaks corresponding to the frequency of individual atmospheric cascades and the intra-cascade variability, respectively. We discuss also the nature of different components contributing to the pulses and se - paration of the signal from noise. It is shown that the waiting-time distribution has distinguished timescales, >30 ms defined by the cosmic-ray induced atmospheric cascades, and < 10 ms reflecting the intra-cascade variability. The new DAQ system allows one to study the development of the atmospheric cascade.

The construction of the dating apparatus started in the summer of 1960 and was completed one year later. The laboratory is located on the bottom floor of a three-story concrete-block building which has two thin concrete floors on concrete beams above the shield. The building is underlain by carbonate mud and coral rock. The geographic location is 25° 43.9′ N Lat, 80° 09.8′ W Long and only a few feet above sealevel. We use a proportional-counting tube with an active volume of 1 L, and a total sample volume of 1.30 L, filled with purified CO2to a pressure of 225 cm Hg (3 atm) at 25°C. The tube is made of copper with brass ends and quartz insulators. The shielding consists of 20 cm of iron, 10 cm of paraffin with boric acid, 2.5 cm of selected lead (Östlund, 1961), and cosmic ray guard counters. The room is air-conditioned but no additional precautions have been taken to exclude outdoor dust.
