Description

A small-scale (under 1 square meter) scintillation muon telescope experiment was started at IZMIRAN a few years ago. It turned out, that despite small surface area, the count rate was big enough to provide statistically supported results. For example, several Forbush-effects were observed in the data.

The talk will cover details of the instrument construction, data collection and processing. Special attention will be given to temperature correction as its very important for muon component of cosmic rays. The perspective of using such instruments data for global modelling methods will also be discussed.
