Muon Detection of TeV Gamma Rays from Gamma Ray Bursts
Because of the limited size of the satellite-borne instruments, it has not been possible to observe the flux of gamma ray bursts (GRB) beyond GeV energy. We here show that it is possible to detect the GRB radiation of TeV energy and above, by detecting the muon secondaries produced when the gamma rays shower in the Earth's atmosphere. Observation is made possible by the recent commissioning of ...
متن کاملNeutron Capture Gamma Rays ( Thermal Neutron
Detection of landmines using nuclear techniques has been studied extensively since the late 1940s. Nuclear techniques look at either a return radiation, which is characteristic of explosive components that are infrequently found in soil (e.g., nitrogen or carbon), or an intensity change of a noncharacteristic scattered radiation, which is a function of a parameter that differs between soil and ...
متن کاملDetecting TeV Gamma Rays from Gamma Ray Bursts by Ground Based Muon Detectors
The possibility of detecting Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) in TeV energy range using large area muon detectors like AMANDA and Lake Baikal detector is examined. These detectors can detect TeV energy photons by detecting the secondary muons created by the TeV photons in the Earth’s atmosphere. We calculate the expected number of muons and the signal to square root of noise ratios in these detectors du...
متن کاملMuon Lifetime and Muon Capture
We present an introduction to the MuLAN and MuCAP experiments at PSI, which aim at high precision determinations of two fundamental Weak Interactions parameters: the Fermi constant GF and the induced pseudoscalar form factor gp, respectively. MULAN MUON LIFETIME The Fermi coupling constant GF is one of the fundamental constants of the Standard Model. GF is obtained from the muon lifetime via a ...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo Calculation of Muon Flux at Ground Level from Primary Cosmic Gamma Rays
The Monte Carlo program FLUKA was used to calculate the number of muons reaching detection level in events initiated by primary cosmic gamma ray interactions in the atmosphere. The calculation was motivated by the desire to gauge the sensitivity of arrays like that of Project GRAND to primary gamma cosmic rays while measuring single muons at detection level. Because direct gamma pair production...
