  • CosRay at Pole had its origins in 1964 as a neutron monitor installed by Martin Pomerantz.
  • In contrast to investigations that extend the range of IceCube to higher energy CosRay now works with IceTop to extend the range to lower energy (1-10 GeV) primarily to study the acceleration and transport of solar energetic particles.
  • Neutron monitors are air shower detectors like IceTop but with one key difference � the �air showers� are originated by low energy (typically 1-10 GeV) particles that produce only one secondary at the detector.
  • Their peak response is to 100 MeV hadrons (mostly neutrons but also protons) that interact with 208Pb to produce multiple low energy �evaporation� neutrons...
