Cosmic-ray muons and especially their secondaries break apart nuclei ("spallation") and produce fast neutrons and beta-decay isotopes, which are backgrounds for low-energy experiments. In Super-Kamiokande, these beta decays are the dominant…
Immiscible contaminants are commonly involved in naturally occurring suspensions. The resulting variations of their flow behavior has rarely been evaluated. Here, we investigate the variation of the viscosity of the oil-based two-phase…
