Description

Baksan Neutrino Observatory's results on variations of thermal neutron flux below and above the ground surface measured with an unshielded scintillator detector are presented. Experimental evidences were obtained of the existence of seasonal wave in the long-term thermal neutron flux variations as well as correlation between this variations and lunar periods.
