The CosmicWatch Detector v3X is a compact, low-power (0.5 W) muon telescope that uses a plastic scintillator and silicon photomultiplier to record cosmic-ray muons with high sensitivity and timing ...

Using this method, outlined in a paper published in Nature Physics, they attained a high-yield of muons, reaching up to 0.01 muon per incoming electron. "Muons play an important role in both basic ...

WASHINGTON — Despite the current downward trend in budgets and lack of Trump administration support for climate research, Muon Space’s chief executive is seeing an uptick in interest from ...

Abstract: We present a model to describe the origin of non-proportional dependence of scintillator light yield on the energy of an ionizing particle. The non-proportionality is discussed in terms of ...

Abstract: The photofraction of a 5.1 cmn × 2.0 cm bismuth germanate (BGO) scintillator was measured over a γ-ray energy range of 0.2 to 6.1 MeV. Several methods, used to minimize the effect of "room ...
