Resumen:

We are currently in the process to install a new cosmic ray detector (the SciCRT, described in a separate paper [1]) in the top of the Sierra Negra volcano at 4600 m.a.s.l., in Eastern Mexico. The main aims of the SciCRT are to work as a solar neutron and muon telescope, with a high resolution. The mini-SciCR is a prototype of the SciCRT, it uses the same scintillator bars and the recording hardware. In this paper we will report the main results obtained with the mini-SciCR that was working on the mountain from October 2010 to July 2012. Here we show the appropriate performance of the detector systems. Additionally we will describe the different experiments performed with the mini-SciCR, and a technique developed to separate the flux of soft and hard secondary cosmic rays at the site where the SciCRT will operate. © 2013 Sociedade Brasileira de Fisica.
