The CosmicWatch Desktop Muon Detector (v3X) is a compact, low-cost, and portable device designed for detecting ionizing radiation, including cosmic-ray muons. Building on previous iterations, the v3X introduces significant hardware and…
The CosmicWatch Desktop Muon Detector is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Polish National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) based undergraduate-level physics project that incorporates various aspects of electronics-shop…
This paper describes an undergraduate-level physics project that incorporates various aspects of machine- and electronics-shop technical development. The desktop muon detector is a self-contained apparatus that employs plastic scintillator…
Elementary particle physics is a fascinating field of modern physics investigating the basic constituents of matter and their interactions. In the experiments large accelerators and very sophisticated detector systems are usually used.…
What are cosmic particles and where do they come from? These are questions which are not only fascinating for scientists in astrophysics. With the CosMO experiment (Cosmic Muon Observer) students can autonomously study these particles. They…
CosmicWatch-based muon detectors are inexpensive, handheld, battery-powered, portable instruments designed to measure the flux of secondary muons produced when primary cosmic rays continuously strike the Earth's atmosphere. As these muons…
Primary cosmic rays when interact with our atmosphere, produce a cascade of lighter secondary particles namely pion, kaon, neutrons, muons, electrons, positrons and neutrinos. Muons are one of the most abundant and easily detectable…
A set of classical multi-wire proportional chambers were designed and constructed with the main purpose of efficient cosmic muon detection. These detectors are relatively simple to construct, and at the same time are low cost, making them…
In this paper, we present development of a portable cosmic muon tracker tailored for both on-site measurements of cosmic muon flux as well as for outreach activities. The tracker comprises of two 70 mm x 70 mm plastic scintillators,…
We present a simple setup for the measurement of the magnetic moment of cosmic muons convenient for a student laboratory experiment. A significant simplification is made in the detector system compared to previous experiments of this kind,…
We have re-purposed portable plastic scintillator muon detectors, designed by the CosmicWatch project, for the measurement of electrons emitted by the decay of radioactive sources. For the latter purpose we have first calibrated the…
Muon tomography or muography is an emerging imaging technique that uses cosmogenic muons as the radiation source. Due to its diverse range of applications and the use of natural radiation, muography is being applied across many fields such…
The CosmoLink project aims to develop low cost, low power, long range and portable form factor particle detectors for experimental and educational research on Cosmic Rays. Use of these detectors distributed across locations will be used for…
Different types of ground-based detectors have been developed and deployed around the world to monitor and study CR variations. We have designed, constructed and operated a three layer small (20x20 cm2) multiwire proportional chamber MWPC…
Muography (or muon radiography) is an imaging technique that relies on the use of cosmogenic muons as a free and safe radiation source. It can be applied in various fields such as archaeology, civil engineering, geology, nuclear reactor…
We describe a compact apparatus that automatically measures the charge averaged lifetime of atmospheric muons in plastic scintillator using low-cost, low-power electronics and that measures the stopping rate of atmospheric muons as a…
Recent advances in low-cost, portable cosmic-ray detectors have broadened citizen-science engagement in particle physics studies. Imaging applications such as muography, however, remain largely inaccessible because existing detectors…
For neutrino physics and rare event searches, background related to cosmic muons poses a notable challenge, and must be identified and rejected. It is also a challenge to control the cost with good performance for a large array of cosmic…
This article describes the design, assembly and characterization of a portable cosmic ray detector, developed by the INSULAB group and suitable for teaching activities aimed at high school students. It consists of a compact aluminum…
The COSINE-100 dark matter search experiment has started taking physics data with the goal of performing an independent measurement of the annual modulation signal observed by DAMA/LIBRA. A muon detector was constructed by using plastic…
