Abstract EN
Precise measurements of the muon flux are important for different practical applications, both in environmental studies and for the estimation of the water equivalent depths of underground sites.
A mobile detector for cosmic muon flux measurements has been set up at IFIN-HH, Romania.
The device is used to measure the muon flux on different locations at the surface and underground.
Its first configuration, not used in the present, has been composed of two 1 m2 scintillator plates, each viewed by wave length shifters and read out by two Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs).
A more recent configuration, consists of two 1 m2 detection layers, each one including four 1 · 0,25 m2 large scintillator plates.
The light output in each plate is collected by twelve optical fibers and then read out by one PMT.
Comparative results were obtained with both configurations.
