MONeutron

MONeutron is a ground-level neutron monitor design for studying cosmic rays and fluxes of solar energetic particles at the Earth’s surface related to solar activity and cosmic rays reaching the atmosphere. It is a compact instrument measuring the flux of primary and secondary neutrons at the ground level on the site of IM@IT’ Unit University of Rome Tor Vergata, collecting data that can be used by the Neutron Space Weather (NSW) and airborne radiation modeling. Extreme space weather due to the sun and its impact on the aging human body, and biological and electronic systems. MONeutron registers a constant feed of neutron data in real-time produced by the extreme NSW due to the potentially hazardous solar activity, collected view from Earth and space, in mixed radiation environments, as well as current and future human explorers, unshielded by Earth’s magnetic field and vulnerable.
