| Abstract: | The unit for detecting thermal neutrons, which makes it possible to study variations in cosmic rays of the interplanetary
and geophysical origin, has been created at the high altitude cosmic ray station (3340 m above sea level) near the Earth’s
crust fault. It has been established that variations in thermal neutrons are of the same nature as high-energy variations
registered with a neutron supermonitor in the absence of seismic activity. The flux of thermal neutrons from the Earth’s crust
during seismic activity in December 2006 has been registered for the first time. The flux value is higher than the background
level by 5–6%. The method for detecting the flux of thermal neutrons from the Earth’s crust with the simultaneous registration
of high-energy neutrons has been proposed. |
