1 Integration of MuSTAnG into the International Muon Spaceweather Telescope Network Rainer Hippler University of Greifswald (Germany) Rainer Hippler Nor-Amberd

2 Greifswald located at the Baltic coast 200 km north of Berlin Rainer Hippler Nor-Amberd

3 Hansestadt Greifswald Home town of Caspar David Friedrich Marktplatz Rainer Hippler Nor-Amberd

4 University of Greifswald Founded 1456 Rainer Hippler Nor-Amberd

5 Physics in Greifswald 2007 Leibnitz-Institute for Low Temperature Plasma Physics Max-Planck-Institute for Plasma Physics Rainer Hippler Nor-Amberd

6 MuSTAnG Muon Spaceweather Telescope for Anisotropies at Greifswald University of Greifswald, Germany (R. Hippler) 1A Greifswald, Germany (F. Jansen) HTS GmbH Coswig, Germany (W. Göhler) University of Bern, Switzerland (E. Flückiger) University of Applied Science Stralsund, Germany (B. Zehner) IEP-SAS, Slovakia (K. Kudela) Funded and supported by: European Space Agency (ESA) Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) Slovak Academy of Sciences INTAS 8777 Solar and Galactic Cosmic Rays Rainer Hippler Nor-Amberd

7 Spaceweather Storms Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) provide hazards to the Earth environment, in particular to satellites, astronauts, aircraft crew and passengers, and to power lines on ground. MuSTAnG aims to follow-up the propagation of CMEs between Sun and Earth. Rainer Hippler Nor-Amberd

8 Working Principle of MuSTAnG The Earth is surrounded by galactic cosmic rays originating from the Milky way. The cosmic ray intensity at Earth is nearly constant. However, whenever the galactic cosmic rays traverses a dense plasma cloud its intenstiy changes. MuSTAnG measures the intensity variations of galactic cosmic rays due to coronal mass ejections (CMEs) between Sun and Earth and is thus capable to predict the CME arrival at Earth. Rainer Hippler Nor-Amberd

9 Galactic Cosmic Ray Intensity Variations Galactic cosmic rays are high-energy particles (e.g., protons) from our Galaxy. At Earth, cosmic rays are largely composed of muons. Sun Earth Plasma cloud between Sun and Earth causes Cosmic Ray Anisotropy Mustang Rainer Hippler Nor-Amberd
