Measurement of the atmospheric muon rate with the MicroBooNE Liquid Argon TPC
نویسندگان
چکیده
MicroBooNE is a near-surface liquid argon (LAr) time projection chamber (TPC) located at Fermilab. We measure the characterisation of muons originating from cosmic interactions in atmosphere using both charge collection and light readout detectors. The data compared with CORSIKA cosmic-ray simulation. Good agreement found between observation, simulation previous results. Furthermore, angular resolution reconstructed inside TPC studied

MicroBooNE TPC Calibrations
This paper presents a few of the studies preformed to test the electronic equipment on the MicroBooNE detector at FermiLab. The aspects of the electronics that are being checked include the gain and linearity of the output data pulse, the cross talk between wires, and the effects of a change in the trigger time on the pulse. This analysis is done at every stage of the set up, thus the compariso...
متن کاملMuon Rate in the μ BooNE TPC
Muons are the most numerous charged particles at sea level. The muon flux at ground-level has been measured many times in the past 50 years [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. When muon decay is negligible (Eμ > 100/ cos θGeV, where θ is the polar angle of the incoming muon), and the curvature of the Earth can be neglected (θ < 70◦), the differential flux across a horizontal surface can be well described by the G...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Atmospheric Muon Neutrinos with the Macro Detector
The flux of muons induced by atmospheric neutrinos has been measured with the MACRO detector. Different event topologies have been detected, due to neutrino interactions in the apparatus and in the rock below it. The upward-throughgoing muon sample is the larger one and is generated by neutrinos with a peak energy of ∼ 100 GeV . The observed upward-throughgoing muons are 26 % fewer than expecte...
متن کاملDirect Measurement of the Atmospheric Muon Energy Spectrum with IceCube
Data from the IceCube detector in its 22string configuration (IC22) were used to directly measure the atmospheric muon energy spectrum near the horizon. After passage through more than 10 km of ice, muon bundles from air showers are reduced to single muons, whose energy can be estimated from the total number of photons registered in the detector. The energy distribution obtained in this way is ...
متن کاملPurity Monitor Studies in Medium Liquid Argon TPC
This paper is an attempt to describe some of the results that had been found through a journey of study in the field of particle physics. This study consists of two parts, one about the measurement of the cross section of the decay of the Z particle in two electrons, and the other deals with the measurement of the cross section of the multi-photon absorption process using a beam of Laser in the...
