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 designed a pocket-sized cosmic ray muon detector to track these ghostly particles. The detector can be made with common electrical parts, and when turned on, it lights up and counts ...

This allows us to identify electron and muon charged-current (CC) neutrino interactions and the measurement of neutrino interaction cross-sections in the currently unexplored TeV energy range." The ...

In a muon tomography detector, cosmic-ray muons interact with an object and strike scintillators that emit photons. Wavelength-shifting fibers transmit the photons to photodetectors that digitize the ...

THIS amazing instrument may be the world’s heaviest camera-like device. But instead of photons of light, it records something far more exotic: muons, produced by the collisions of billions of ...

Three parallel Geiger-Muller Tubes were used in this project in order to produce a Cosmic Ray Muon Detector that is easy to build, low cost, and contains usable output to graph, visualize, or sonify.

There’s something compelling about high-altitude ballooning. For not very much money, you can release a helium-filled bag and let it carry a small payload aloft, and with any luck graze the edge of ...

Remy Chemillac, Exploration Technical Director at Orano Canada, has a look at the world’s first borehole cosmic-ray muon detector from Ideon Technologies as it arrives on site with the deployment team ...

The world's first cosmic-ray muon detector developed specifically for use in industry-standard boreholes, has been deployed at Orano's McClean Lake site in northern Saskatchewan where it will be used ...

Simultaneous data acquisitions with the Muon Imaging for Mining and Archaeology (MIMA) detector, laser scanner and geoelectrical instruments. (Image courtesy: Stefano Morelli) In 2017 the ScanPyramids ...

Scientists hoping to find new, long-lived particles at the Large Hadron Collider recently realized they may already have the detector to do it. Physicist Cristián Peña grew up in Talca, a small town a ...

At any given moment, the Earth's atmosphere is showered with high-energy cosmic rays that have been blasted from supernovae and other astrophysical phenomena far beyond the Solar System. When cosmic ...
