High-Latitude Cosmic Ray Observatories in Canada

该奖项将使加拿大的两站宇宙射线中子监测仪阵列继续运行两年，该阵列目前计划很快由拥有和运营它们的加拿大国家研究委员会（NRC）终止。来自巴托尔研究所的首席研究员已经与核管理委员会达成协议，这将允许他管理这些反应堆，并可能最终获得所有权。这一奖励为安排转移以及确定各种此类设施的相对优先次序提供了时间。这些仪器与其他高纬度监测仪一起，对宇宙射线研究作出了特别重要的贡献，因为它们的视场是明确的，而且与中纬度监测仪相比，它们对低能宇宙射线更敏感。＊＊＊

Abstract 9424005 Bieber This award will continue for two years the operation of a two station array of cosmic ray neutron monitors in Canada which are presently scheduled to be terminated very soon by the Canadian National Research Council (NRC), which owns and operates them. The Principal Investigator, who is from Bartol Research Institute, has reached an agreement with the NRC which will allow him to run them and probably eventually obtain ownership. This award gives time for the arrangements for transfer to occur as well as to determine the relative priority of various such facilities. These instruments, along with other high latitude monitors, are especially important contributors to cosmic ray studies because their fields of view are well defined and also because they are much more sensitive to low energy cosmic rays, compared to mid- latitude monitors. ***
