Abstract

A muon telescope based on 8 water cherenkov detectors was mounted at Basic Environmental Observatory - Moussala - Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy - Bulgarian Academy of Science. The telescope will be used for continuous measuring the intensity of the muon component of cosmic rays, exploring its variations and possible correlations with environment parameters. A detailed description of the device is presented in this paper.
