Abstract

We report a study on the conversion of a giant cosmic ray observatory for air shower observation to observe cosmic ray intensity variations caused by solar activity, anisotropy associated with interplanetary disturbances, and detection of sudden cosmic ray events on the earth’s surface. In this report, we use data from the surface detectors operated by the Telescope Array experiment located at 39°N, 112°W (total detector area: 2250 m2). In order to evaluate the cosmic ray intensity variations, we will compare the data with some of the corrections considered and with available world wide database such as Nagoya Muon detector and other observatories that have been in stable operation at different geographic longitudes. Finally, we will report on the intensity variations due to weather and solar activity recorded during the observation period.
