DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. MORAAL\, Harm (NWU\, Potchefstroom\, South Afr
 ica)\nAt the previous ICRC\, Kruger et al. 2005\, Proc. 29th ICRC\, Pune\,
  2\, 473\, and 2\, \n477\, reported on the first tests of two newly constr
 ucted calibration neutron \nmonitors. These monitors are designed to provi
 de an intercalibration between the 50-\nodd neutron monitors around the wo
 rld\, so that rigidity spectra can be calculated \nfrom them. In those pap
 ers we described the difference in the latitudinal (energy) \ndependence b
 etween the calibrator and a standard 3NM64 neutron monitor. We also \nrepo
 rted on a larger than expected instrumental temperature effect on the \nca
 librator\, being 0.12%/ degree C. Here we summarize these results and repo
 rt on \nnew experiments on the sensitivity of the calibrator to its enviro
 nment\, in \nparticular to different ground surfaces. These surface effect
 s have to be \neliminated in the calibration procedure for the stationary 
 neutron monitors.\n\nhttps://indico.nucleares.unam.mx/event/4/session/81/c
