A little over a year ago we’d written about a sub $100 muon detector that MIT doctoral candidate [Spencer Axani] and a few others had put together. At the time there was little more than a paper ...

While some well-documented designs are available for low-cost muon detectors (in particular, the Cosmic Watch project from MIT), I decided to pursue a simpler—and slightly cheaper—approach.

Why is this better than conventional instructional muon detectors? It is fully self-contained: you don’t need a HV power supply, NIM modules, oscilloscopes… It is efficient. It draws less than 1 watt ...

Physicists have since developed new models, and detecting the direct conversion of a muon to an electron ... The Mu2e detector, when complete, will be the instrument to do this. The 92-foot-long ...

"By recording the position and the direction of each muon that traverses its detection surface, a muon detector can distinguish cavities from stone." While these sorts of muon detectors are ...

From 1997 to 2001, researchers at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, in Upton, New York, measured the muon's g ... with much-improved detectors and electronics. The new apparatus has superior ...

We developed a muon detector with the lowest noise levels ... However, the complex user interfaces in the apparatus still present a challenge to many scientists who would otherwise benefit from ...

This scalable solution establishes a transferable technique for next-generation neutrino detectors requiring muon identification efficiency >99.5% across multi-ton volumes. The findings are ...

Specifically, they're looking for muons, cosmic rays left over from the Big Bang. The muon detector tracks and counts the muons passing through the structure, then determines the density of the ...

Scientists have received the first transmissions from a muon detector placed 1 km underground in the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory. The muon detector records the amount of cosmic ...
