Abstract
The Izaña Cosmic Ray Observatory (ICaRO) is a recent facility dedicated to the observation of secondary cosmic rays at the Izaña Atmospheric Observatory (IZO) ($28^{\circ}18’N$, $16^{\circ}29’W$, 2373 m a.s.l. and vertical cut-off rigidity of 11.5 GV). It is based on the ORCA design and is able to measure neutrons at two energy thresholds, and muons, their count rates and muon incident direction. The height above sea level and the cut-off rigidity make ICaRO a great detector to fill a gap in the worldwide network of neutron monitors and make it a possible observer of solar neutrons produced during solar events. We present details of its installation as well as the first operational tests.
