These results demonstrate that AMANDA is a functioning, multipurpose detector with significant physics and astrophysics reach. They include a new higher-statistics measurement of the atmospheric muon ...

Abstract: Cosmic ray muon scattering tomography is one of four techniques currently being investigated at AWE for the detection of special nuclear material (SNM). In order to develop a prototype muon ...

Since the scintillation process and the photomultiplier tube (PMT) anode signal are often very noisy, most pulse-shape discrimination methods in a scintillation detection system (e.g., the charge ...
