| Research Abstract |
The existence of the precursory decrease of cosmic rays in front of the shock wave of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) was pointed out by Fujimoto et al. and the phenomenon has been interpreted as being due to their IMF-collimated outward flow across the shock from the inside of the Forbush decrease.
To observe such a beam-like precursory decrease effectively, a new narrow angle multidirectional muon telescope have been constructed at Mt. Norikura and fully operated since May 1998. The telescope covers *50ﾟ of the sky with the angular resolution of about 7ﾟ Forbush decrease events were observed on 26 August and 25 September in 1998. The counting rates of the event are plotted in the two-dimensional map of 21*21 bin. The time sequence of the plot seems to indicate that the F.D.event is not uniform in space and is non-stable in time. We submit the report of the above results to 26th Int. Cosmic ray Conference, Salt Lake City, in August 1999.
