ScIDEP built 2 cm-resolution detectors. Models show a void like Khufu’s 2017 “big void” would be visible after ~10⁸ recorded muons.

Fermilab physicist Herman White suggested taking one of the the tiny detectors on a ship to study muon counts at sea. Mapping out the muon rate around the globe at sea has never been achieved. Liquid ...

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 ...

A new technique has taken the first images of muon particle beams. Nagoya University scientists designed the imaging technique with colleagues in Osaka University and KEK, Japan. They plan to use ...

Physicists at MIT have designed a pocket-sized cosmic ray muon detector to track these ghostly particles. ... Typical muon detectors consist of photomultiplying tubes lined with a scintillator, ...

Quality of muon beams Date: February 3, 2021 Source: Nagoya University Summary: A new technique has taken the first images of muon particle beams. Scientists plan to use it to assess the quality ...

Their setup features multiple layers of scintillator-based muon detectors positioned above and below the sensing area. These detectors track changes in the paths of muons as they are scattered by ...

Antineutrino search: the NOvA detector in northern Minnesota. (Courtesy: Fermilab/Reidar Hahn) The best evidence yet that muon antineutrinos can change into electron antineutrinos has been found by ...

The MiniBooNE team was looking for signs of muon neutrinos morphing into the electron variety. An earlier experiment, called the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) ...

They come in three “flavors”—electron, muon and tau. They oscillate—change flavors— in midflight. Fermilab explains oscillation by asking us to imagine a sports car, changing into a bus or minivan as ...

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 ...
