Abstract. The neutron multiplicity changes on the neutron monitor in Barentsburg (Spitsbergen) during the GLE December 13, 2006 has been studied. The neutron monitor in Barentsburg was put into operation on April, 2003. In 2006 it has found the complete configuration 18-NM-64. The new data collecting system based on a digital AD-LINK 7233 card allows to register both pulses, and intervals between them. On the basis of this device the multiplic-ity recorder is realized to register the count rates on multiplicities (2-10). During the GLE a significant increase of the count rates of multiplicities from 2 up to 4 was detected. The multiplicity spectrum changes are compared with the solar proton spectrum dynamics during event. The spectra of relativistic solar protons was derived by modeling technique from the worldwide neutron monitor network. 1.
