Scientific paper

A fesibility study to explore the capability of the WILLI detector to observe the solar events/activity by recording the muon intensity at ground level is presented.
The WILLI detector, set up in National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering, Bucharest, is a 1 m2 incident area sampling calorimeter. It can measure simultaneously muon events with the muon energy >=0.4 GeV and, if the muons are stopped in the detector, and muon energy between 0.4Taking into account muon events with energy >=0.4 GeV, a modulation of the muon intensity as a diurnal variation is observed. Muon events for a smaller energy range (0.4-0.6 GeV) seem to exhibit an aperiodic variation of the muon intensity, which could be correlated with magnetic activity indicated by the planetary Kp index.
