The Cosmic Ray Muon Flux at WIPP
In this work a measurement of the muon intensity at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, NM, USA is presented. WIPP is a salt mine with a depth of 655 m. The vertical muon flux was measured with a two panels scintillator coincidence setup to Φvert = (3.10 +0.05 −0.07) 10 −7 s−1cm−2sr−1.
متن کاملSimulation of Cosmic Ray Muon Flux at Shallow Depths Underground
Geant4 has been used to estimate the rate, energy spectrum and angular distribution of cosmic ray muons at underground depths between 300 and 1000 m.w.e. The results agree well with those from the MUSIC program when the same surface spectrum is used. Care has been taken to use a parameterization of the surface spectrum which agrees well with data for the relevant energies. 1 Goals Knowledge of ...
متن کاملParametrization of the Cosmic Muon Flux for the Generator CMSCGEN
The cosmic muon generator CMSCGEN is based on a parametrization of the differential muon flux at ground level, as obtained from the air shower simulation program CORSIKA. We present the underlying ansatz for this parameterization and provide an approximation of the momentum and angular distributions in terms of simple polynomials, in the momentum range 3− 3000GeV.
متن کاملMeasurement of Muon Lifetime and Mass Using Cosmic Ray Showers
In this experiment, we used a scintillation mechanism to measure the lifetime and the mass of the muon with data collected from cosmic ray showers. We determined the lifetime with a QVT pulse analyzer in t-mode to bin the times between a muon entry and its decay in the scintillator. Our final data was a plot of the decay rate vs. bin number. From that curve, we calculated the muon lifetime to b...
متن کاملA Cosmic Ray Measurement Facility for ATLAS Muon Chambers
Monitored Drift Tube (MDT) chambers will constitute the large majority of precision detectors in the Muon Spectrometer of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. For commissioning and calibration of MDT chambers, a Cosmic Ray Measurement Facility is in operation at Munich University. The objectives of this facility are to test the chambers and on-chamber electronics, to map t...
