The forward muon detector of L3

Study of Multi-muon Events from EAS with the L3 Detector at Shallow Depth Underground

A Detector for Muon Tomography

This report describes the conceptual design of a particle detector that could be deployed underground for tracking cosmic-ray muons to enable tomographic reconstruction of the overlying ground and structures. The concept of cosmic-ray muon tomography has been known for a long time but seldom used in practice since the first demonstration. Developments in technology and methods of particle detec...

Muon simulations based on a realistic CBM muon detector system∗

The actual design of the muon detector system consists of 6 hadron absorber layers (iron plates of thickness 20, 20, 20, 30, 35, 100 cm) and 15-18 gaseous tracking chambers located in triplets behind each iron slab. The geometry of the muon system is presented in figure 1: the side view of the full system (top), the side wiew of one gap with detector layers (bottom left), and the side view of o...

Measurement of the Di ractive Proton Structure Function and Calibration of the Forward Muon Detector at H

Ameasurement is presented of the di ractive proton structure function F x Q xIP over the range x GeV Q GeV and xIP using the H detector situated at the HERA electron proton collider The mea surement was made using data taken in running for an integrated luminosity of nb The data were selected using a class of deep inelastic scattering events that showed no energy ow in a region of pseudorapidit...
