Abstract content
A new Muon Spaceweather Telescope for Anisotropies dedicated to spaceweather forecast is presently under construction in Greifswald (MuSTAnG), Germany. MuSTAnG in its present configuration consists of 8 m2 (2 x 4 m2) of scintillator plates in 2 layers. Each scintillator plate has a size of 0.25 m2 and is connected via wavelength-shifting fibres to a photomultiplier unit with integrated high-voltage supply and built-in pre-amplifier. Output pulses are discriminated and further processes by a field-programmable gate array (FPGA).
MuSTAnG became first operational during December 2006. First results including the 14 December 2006 spaceweather event are reported.
