What’s a muon? The Earth is under constant bombardment ... The working components of the detector consist of a plastic scintillator, a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), a main circuit board ...

This research on the muon veto detector system for the TAO ... More information: Guang Luo et al, Performance of plastic scintillator modules for top veto tracker at Taishan Antineutrino ...

Muon detectors capture tracks of both negatively ... The detectors’ measurements were supplemented with plastic scintillator detectors inside the Queen’s Chamber, and gas-based detectors ...

To get a muograph of the pyramid, the researchers collected muon traces using nuclear emulsion films and scintillator hodoscopes set up in the queen's chamber at the base of the pyramid ...

Axani took on the task of designing a prototype muon detector for use in PINGU. Typical muon detectors consist of photomultiplying tubes lined with a scintillator, a material that emits light when ...

This oil/scintillator mixture allowed the detection ... the apparent deficit of solar electron-neutrinos and atmospheric muon-neutrinos. The solar and atmospheric experiments have been confirmed ...

The muon antineutrinos in the beam are produced at Fermilab ... Electron neutrinos and antineutrinos are detected when they very occasionally collide with an atom in a liquid scintillator, which ...

Now, Riggi and colleagues have combined several techniques previously developed to overcome the flux problem to create a full-scale muon tomograph. Their setup features multiple layers of scintillator ...
