The Earth is under constant bombardment from cosmic rays, most of them being nuclei ... and $150 for a muon detector still isn’t too unreasonable. Detecting muons seems to have become a thing ...

[Sebastian Tomczak] was borrowing a homeade muon ... detector itself uses 3 fluorescent tubes to detect radiation. Three separate tubes are used in order to filter out terrestrial radiation ...

In the 20th century, cosmic rays helped scientists discover antimatter and the muon—the first evidence for subatomic ... and many other institutions work with NASA to launch cosmic ray detectors ...

The muon detector acquired by Nigeria for monitoring cosmic rays and space weather was built and designed by the Physics and Astronomy Department of Georgia State University (GSU), USA; Prof ...

The legend goes that after scientist Enrico Fermi helped bring an end to World War II through his crucial work on the ...

In the 1930s, a number of experiments — both in early terrestrial particle accelerators and via more sophisticated cosmic ray detectors ... and the muon, an unstable particle with ...

A type of binary-system known as a microquasar has been found to be firing out γ-rays at high energy-levels, which may make ...

Sri Lanka became the very first country (outside the USA) to deploy Georgia State University’s (GSU) Cosmic Ray Muon Detector. Sri Lanka now becomes GSU’s first ...

Cosmic rays are high-energy particles from space ... for half a year by putting a detector on a ship to measure how latitude affects muon flow. Classrooms borrow their detectors from local institutes ...

One of the great challenges of modern cosmology is to reveal the nature of dark matter. We know it exists (it constitutes ...

To honor what was achieved at the lodge, the University of Tokyo’s Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR) announced that a stone marker was erected on Mount Norikuradake close to where the ...
