Source separation techniques for characterising cosmic ray transients from neutron monitor networks

The analysis of weak variations in the energetic particle flux, as detected by neutron or muon monitors, can often be considerably improved by analysing data from monitor networks and thereby exploiting the spatial coherence of the flux. We present a statistical framework for carrying out such an analysis and discuss its physical interpretation. Two other applications are also presented: filling data gaps and removing trends. This study focuses on the method and its various uses.

Determination of the EAS Attenuation Length from Data of the ANI Experiment

Using the EAS size spectra measured with the MAKET ANI array on Mt. Aragats, Armenia (3200m a.s.l.) in the range of the shower size 10^5 - 10^7 for different angles-of-incidence, the EAS attenuation length has been determined applying different analysis methods. The analysis is based on a data sample of 2.5*10^6 events collected in the period of June, 97 - April, 99. The results are compared with results deduced from data of the EAS TOP and KASCADE experiments.

The Dependence of the Age Parameter from EAS Size and Zenith Angle of Incidence

The quality of the MAKET-ANI detector installation in view of the uniformity of the registration efficiency is demonstrated. Based on a data sample collected by the MAKET-ANI array in the period of June 1997 - March 1999, the dependencies of the age parameter on the zenith angle and the EAS size (10^5-10^7) are studied. The variation of the age parameter with the shower size can be approximately related to the elongation rate.
