The cosmic ray laboratory of the Polar Geophysical Institute has created a simple and compact telescope with a modular design that is designed to detect ionizing particles in the energy range from 1 MeV to 100 GeV. The telescope consists of two scintillator plates separated by a layer of lead that are located one above the other. The electronic circuit creates a channel for counting the upper detector and a channel of coincidences with the lower one. The area of each detector is 0.25 m
2 ; the average count rate of the upper detector is 3000 pulses/min. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
