Measurement of Angular Variation of Cosmic Ray Intensity with Plastic Scintillator Detector

A new and simple technique has been developed using plastic scintillator detectors for the study of angular variation of cosmic ray intensity near the sea level. A systematic study of the characteristics of the plastic scintillator paddle detector has been carried out. The yield uniformity of the detector has also been studied. The details of the measurement and the experimental result are presented in this article.
