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.

"By recording the position and the direction of each muon that traverses its detection surface, a muon detector can ...

We love them if we can use them for calibration of our detectors, and we hate them if they provide a background for what it is that we are trying to do.” Conrad used small muon detectors similar to ...

In lieu of spending a fair bit of money on dedicated muon detectors, you can also hack such a device together with two Geiger-Müller tubes and related circuitry for about $100 or whatever you can ...

Typical muon detectors are large and bulky, but the one from MIT - the CosmicWatch - is small, requires little power and uses common electrical parts, according to MIT News. The device can catch ...

they also used gas detectors outside. Next, they used specialized software to analyze the trajectories of the muon trails. After intensive study and comparing results from the three different muon ...

In September, CERN finished installing the CMS’s outermost layer of muon detectors, letting it pick up muons that scatter at an angle of 10 degrees. CERN plans to add hundreds of new detectors ...

The team, led by Francesco Riggi at the University of Catania, combined layers of muon detectors with a specialized reconstruction algorithm to deliver high-resolution 3D images of a small lead block ...
