As a muon passes through the scintillating material, some of its energy is absorbed and re-emitted as photons. Those photons are detected by the silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) which then outputs ...

About one muon per square-centimeter reaches the Earth's surface per minute, with an average energy of 4 GeV but a very broad energy spectrum. Yet, compared to the results of standard physics ...

The magnificent muon and its unusual wobble In 2021 ... What is dark matter made of? What is dark energy? And why does the universe contain far more matter than antimatter? Scientists realize ...
