THE EFFECT OF ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE ON NEUTRON FLUX NEAR THE EARTH’S SURFACE
In this work, the effect of atmospheric pressure on the thermal neutron flux was investigated. The influence of atmospheric pressure on the thermal neutron flux was determined through correlation analysis, and the values of the barometric coefficients were calculated separately for each month. Using these coefficients, pressure-corrected count rate values were obtained. The results show that the barometric coefficient generally takes larger values during the winter and autumn months, which is likely associated with the influence of other meteorological parameters
