Scientists have a problem with cosmic rays—they produce too many muons at the Earth's surface. Cascades of muons are byproducts of high-energy cosmic rays as they collide with nuclei in the upper ...

Archaeologists and physicists have achieved a breakthrough in historical exploration by using cosmic-ray muons to map ...

Archaeologists are now using cosmic ray muon imaging to see underground without digging. This new technique has successfully ...

National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) says Nigeria becomes the first country in Africa to acquire a cosmic ray muon detector to aid climate change and atmospheric research. Prof.

Energetic particles that pop briefly into existence when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war ends. In the 1970s, a pioneering ...

Muon is the heavier cousin (around 200 times) of the electron. It is produced when cosmic rays interact with Earth’s ...

The study of cosmic ray anisotropy and magnetic fields lies at the intersection of astrophysics and plasma physics, revealing subtle imprints of the turbulent interstellar medium and the local ...

Georgia State Regents’ Professor of Physics and Astronomy Xiaochun He and his students have developed a detector to measure cosmic rays and investigate how space weather can impact our changing ...

Cosmic-ray muon sources exhibit distinct scattering angle distributions when interacting with materials of different atomic numbers (Z values), facilitating the identification of various Z-class ...
