We report on a new ground-level neutron monitor design for studying cosmic rays and fluxes of solar energetic particles at
the Earth’s surface. The first-of-its-kind instrument, named the NM-2023 after the year it was standardised and following
convention, will be installed at a United Kingdom Meteorological Office observatory (expected complet…
Conventional means of fast neutron detection typically involves moderation and subsequent detection of thermal neutrons via gas filled detectors such as He-3, or alternatively indirect neutron detection via gamma activation systems. Whilst these are often the most conclusive systems for neutron detection, inherent timing and energy information asso…
