| Zusammenfassung |
| The use of the World Neutron Monitor Network
to detect high-energy solar neutrons is discussed in detail. It is shown that
the existing network can be used for the routine detection of intense sporadic
solar-neutron events whenever they occur. A technique is suggested involving the
weighted summation of responses of separate monitors to solar neutrons. It is
demonstrated that the use of this method improves the significance of
solar-neutron event detection. Different results of the simulation of the
neutron-monitor sensitivity to solar neutrons have been tested with respect to
their application for practical use. It is shown that the total number of
neutrons with energy above 300 MeV injected from the Sun during a solar flare
can be estimated directly from the time-integrated neutron-monitor response to
solar neutrons without any model assumptions. The estimation technique has been
developed. |
