Detection of Solar particle events in March 2012 at BEO Moussala
Abstract
The solar activity was very high in March 2012. There were four geo-effective solar flares associated with Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) during the period between 5-10 March. The magnetic disturbances in the interplanetary magnetic field produced two consecutive Forbush decreases between March 08 and 13. Both of them were registered with the neutron component detector of SEVAN instrument and with the muon telescope at BEO Moussala. The obtained results are presented showing the level of measuring capability of the cosmic ray devices operating in BEO Moussala.
