Muon Detection

Posted on November 21, 2013 by PlatoHagel

An image of the shadow of the Moon in muons as produced by the 700m subterranean Soudan 2 detector in the Soudan Mine in Minnesota. The shadow is the result of approximately 120 muons missing from a total of 33 … Continue reading →

Muon Tomography

Posted on March 1, 2013 by PlatoHagel

The same nuclear reaction described above (i.e. hadron-hadron impacts to produce pion beams, which then quickly decay to muon beams over short distances) is used by particle physicists to produce muon beams, such as the beam used for the muon … Continue reading →

The Bolshoi simulation

Posted on July 6, 2012 by PlatoHagel

A virtual world?  The more complex the data base the more accurate one’s simulation is achieved. The point is though that you have to capture scientific processes through calorimeter examinations just as you do in the LHC. So these backdrops … Continue reading →

first tau-neutrino “appearing” out of several billion of billions muon neutrinos

Posted on November 22, 2011 by PlatoHagel

Layout of the CNGS beam line. The OPERA neutrino experiment [1] at the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS) was designed to perform the first detection of neutrino oscillations in direct appearance mode in the νμ→ντ channel, the signature being the … Continue reading →

Energy Boost From Shock Front

Posted on November 20, 2011 by PlatoHagel

Main Components of CNGS A 400 GeV/c proton beam is extracted from the SPS in 10.5 microsecond short pulses of 2.4×1013 protons per pulse. The proton beam is transported through the transfer line TT41 to the CNGS target T40. The … Continue reading →

Seeing Underlying Structures

Posted on October 12, 2011 by PlatoHagel

 There is  gap between,  “Proton Collision ->Decay to Muons and Muon Neutrinos ->Tau Neutrino ->[gap] tau lepton may travel some tens of microns before decaying back into neutrino and charged tracks.” Use the case of Relativistic Muons?  An analysis of … Continue reading →
