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 ...

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 ...

Comprising 160 plastic scintillator (PS) modules with optimized wavelength shifting fiber (WLS-fiber) arrangements and silicon photomultipliers, the system offers enhanced light yield and muon ...

Mapping out the muon rate around the globe at sea has never been achieved. Liquid scintillator can be harmful to marine life, and the high voltage and power consumption of the large devices present a ...

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 ...

Nine metres long and two metres wide, the mysterious corridor was first detected in 2016 thanks to muon imaging. Muon imaging is a non-invasive technique which uses cosmic ray particles, called muons, ...

There, members of the Muon g–2 (pronounced as “g minus 2”) Collaboration have been carefully measuring a peculiar particle known as a muon. Last week, they released their updated results ...
