No no you misunderstood my friend...I used "look"' in a friendly manner..Maybe it's because I'm not american..Seriously I didn't mean to offend you or something..In my language this phrase has a different meaning..Anyway... I had a thought today about that..Maybe it has something to do with...

Look Vanadium 50, if the pressure is Pi>Pm then the argument in the exp is negative(a is positive) and exp(-a(Pi-Pm) is less than 1.So the corrected value I is less than the recorded Io,which doesn't make sense. In high pressure you supposed to record a value i.e. Io=40 and the correction...

By pressure I mean the atmospheric pressure above the neutron monitor for example..The exact equation is: I=Io*exp(-a(Pi-Pm)) where: I=corrected with pressure intensity of cosray Io=the intensity recorded by the neutron monitor a= constant(namely the pressure coefficient) Pi=the...

Hi guys, I cannot understand why we need to correct cosray intensity with pressure and why the equation that describes the phenomenon is I=Io*exp(-a(Δp))? I want to know the phsyical meaning of this(i assume,experimental) result... Thank you...
