Description

Long-term variations of thermal neutron background in Moscow, where EAS array ENDA-INR is running, are studied using en-detectors (developed in the INR RAS). EN-detectors based on the inorganic scintillation compound ZnS(Ag) + B2O3 with unenforced boron. The paper provides information about detectors stability and thermal neutron background variations including seasonal and weather effects.
