The TRISTAN detector -- 2018-2019 Latitude Survey of Cosmic Rays
2020
In 2018-2019 a cosmic-ray latitude survey at sea level was performed by the TRISTAN detector, an autonomous system composed by three planes of RPCs (120 x 150 cm$^{2}$). The detector made a two-way journey on board of the Spanish vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa between Vigo (Spain) and Punta Arenas (Chile), measuring continuously the cosmic-ray rate throughout the Atlantic crossing. In this work, we present the results of the first journey, correlating the obtained variation of the cosmic-ray rate with the vertical cutoff rigidity, as well as presenting some details of the detector and its autonomous DAQ system used during the campaign.
