The DAMIC (Dark Matter in CCDs) experiment searches for the interactions of dark matter particles with the nuclei and the electrons in the silicon bulk of thick fully depleted charge-coupled devices (CCDs). Because of the low noise and low…

The XENON100 dark matter experiment uses liquid xenon (LXe) in a time projection chamber (TPC) to search for Xe nuclear recoils resulting from the scattering of dark matter Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). In this paper we…

Using a sample of 38.5 million underground muons collected by the MACRO detector we have performed an all-sky search for pointlike sources producing excesses of muons above the expected background. The d.c. muon flux upper limit at the…

The muon detectors of the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have to cope with unprecedentedly high neutron and gamma ray background rates. In the forward regions of the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS detector, for instance,…

Several methods can be used to perform statistical inference of primary composition of cosmic rays measured with water Cerenkov detectors as those in use at the Pierre Auger Southern Observatory. In the present work we assess the impact of…

The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter experiment aims to detect rare low-energy interactions from Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). The radiogenic backgrounds in the LUX detector have been measured and compared with…

The largest underground neutrino observatory, Super-Kamiokande, located near Kamioka, Japan has been collecting data since April 1996. It is located at a depth of roughly 2.7 kmwe in a zinc mine under a mountain, and has an effective area…

The aim of the paper is to investigate possibility of utilizing a shallow underground laboratory for the study of energy dependent solar modulation process and to find an optimum detector configuration sensitive to primaries of widest…

The sensitivity of neutrinoless double beta (0n2b) decay experiments is mainly depended on the internal background of a detector which, in its turn, is defined by the purity of material and possibility for selection of background events.…

Muon radiography is a fast growing field in applied scientific research. In recent years, many detector technologies and imaging techniques using the Coulomb scattering and absorption properties of cosmic-ray muons have been developed for…

The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) has measured the evolution of emittance due to ionization energy loss. Muons were focused onto an absorber using a large aperture solenoid. Lithium-hydride and liquid hydrogen- absorbers have…

A position sensitive thin gap chamber has been developed. The position resolution was measured using the cosmic muons. This paper presents the structure of this detector, position resolution measurement method and results.

Experimental observations and theoretical arguments point out that Dark Matter (DM) particles are one of the most prominent component of the Universe. This motivated the pioneer DAMA experiment to investigate the presence of these particles…

A persistence of several anomalies in muon physics, such as the muon anomalous magnetic moment and the muonic hydrogen Lamb shift, hints at new light particles beyond the Standard Model. We address a subset of these models that have a new…

When designing an experimental setup for measuring the flux of cosmic ray muons through a geological structure, it is crucial to make detailed estimates about the expected muon flux attenuation by the structure studied. In this way, the…

We have measured the muon flux and production rate of muon-induced neutrons at a depth of 611 m water equivalent. Our apparatus comprises three layers of crossed plastic scintillator hodoscopes for tracking the incident cosmic-ray muons and…

Muon-induced neutrons can lead to potentially irreducible backgrounds in rare event search experiments. We have investigated the implication of laboratory depth on the muon induced background in a future dark matter experiment capable of…

The past several decades have seen significant advancement in applications using cosmic-ray muons for tomography scanning of unknown objects. One of the most promising developments is the application of this technique in border security for…

The XENON experimental program aims to detect cold dark matter particles via their elastic collisions with xenon nuclei in two-phase time projection chambers (TPCs). We are currently testing a new TPC at the 100 kg scale, XENON100. This…

A shadow of the moon, with a statistical significance of $5\sigma$, has been observed in the underground muon flux at a depth of 2090 mwe using the Soudan 2 detector. The angular resolution of the detector is well described by a Gaussian…
