متن کاملMeasurements of the Lateral Distribution of the Muon Component of Extensive Air Showers Underground
The ALEPH detector at LEP has been supplemented with five scintillator stations to measure the muon component of cosmic ray showers underground. We report the measurements of coincidences over distances up to about 1 km which are sensitive to the forward production of hadronic interactions and the chemical composition of primary cosmic rays in the energy range around 10 eV. The results are comp...
متن کاملCosmic Ray Multiple Muon Events in Deep Detectors
A simple model is developed which predicts the average number of multi-TeV muons produced in cosmic ray air showers. The model also give the approximate rates at which different numbers of muons reach a detector's depth. The dependences of the rates on zenith angle, detector depth, primary spectrum and composition, and interaction properties are given. The results are briefly discussed in terms...
متن کاملA Neutron Multiplicity Meter for Deep Underground Muon-Induced High Energy Neutron Measurements
We present, for the first time, the design of an instrument capable of measuring the high energy (>60MeV) muon-induced neutron flux deep underground. The instrument is based on applying the Gd-loaded liquid-scintillator technique to measure the rate of multiple low energy neutron events produced in a Pb target and from this measurement to infer the rate of high energy neutron events. This uniqu...
متن کاملInterpretation of the Underground Muon Charge Ratio
The MINOS experiment has observed a rise in the underground muon charge ratio rμ = μ /μ. This ratio can be related to the atmospheric production ratios of π/π and K/K. Our analysis indicates that the relevant variable for studying the charge ratio is E μ cos θ, rather than E μ . We compare a simple energy dependent parameterization of the rise in the charge ratio with more detailed previously p...
