Predicting Neutron Production from Cosmic-ray Muons
Fast neutrons from cosmic-ray muons are an important background to underground low energy experiments. The estimate of such background is often hampered by the difficulty of measuring and calculating neutron production with sufficient accuracy. Indeed substantial disagreement exists between the different analytical calculations performed so far, while data reported by different experiments is n...
متن کاملCosmic Ray Muons and the Muon Lifetime
Four scintillation paddles and coincidence techniques are used to determine the overall flux and angular distribution of cosmic ray muons. The muon lifetime is measured using rare events where, after passage of a muon into a scintillator is detected, its decay is also detected a short time later. The distribution of the decay times provides information about the average muon lifetime. Statistic...
متن کاملCosmic ray test station for ATLAS RPC
We describe the facility for RPC test with cosmic rays, designed and built at the laboratory of INFN and University of Naples. Trigger and tracking systems consist of a scintillator hodoscope and two drift chambers with track reconstruction resolution ofB400 mm: Trigger is provided by the twofold coincidence of scintillators covering a surface of 1 m: Two step motors move chambers synchronously...
متن کاملHadronic Scaling and the Charge Ratio of Cosmic Ray Muons
The charge ratio of cosmic ray muons produced by meson decay has been calculated with the assumption of scaling for high energy hadronic interactions. The values obtained are in good agreement with experimental results for muons coming from primary collision energies up to 40 TeV. This agreement and the observed near energy independence of the measured charge ratios support the scaling hypothes...
متن کاملThe Speed and Lifetime of Cosmic Ray Muons
We measure the mean lifetime and speed of cosmic ray muons at sea level using coincidence techniques with scintillation detectors. We find the mean speed v of muons traveling near normal to earth’s surface to be 29.8 ± 2.5 cm/ns, corresponding to βμ = 0.994 ± 0.08 and γμ of 9.14. Our result is in agreement with the accepted average speed of vμ, which is listed as between 0.994 or 0.998 dependin...
