The 5ᵗ ͪ International Symposium on Cosmic Rays and Astrophysics (ISCRA-2025)

On the usability of small-scale scintillation muon telescopes

Not scheduled

20m

National Research Nuclear University MEPhI

Poster Cosmo- and geophysical aspects of cosmic rays at the ground level Poster Session

Speaker

Semyon Belov (IZMIRAN)

Description

Perspectives and difficulties of using small (<1 m^2) particle detectors made with scintillating materials for measuring muon component of galactic cosmic rays will be discussed using the example of an experiment carried out at IZMIRAN in last 3 years.

Parameters of the instrument will be shown. Special attention will be given to methods of correcting the data for environmental effects, which play the bigger role when working with muon component.

Scientific potential of using similar instruments for building networks distributed worldwide will be assessed.
