Testing UKRAA Cosmicwatch muon detectors with radiation source available in every home 28/1/2024
I used bananas as source of radiation to test detection of radiation by pair of UKRAA Cosmicwatch coincidence detectors – bananas placed on top of detectors. Download my results by…
LRO Muon Detectors

Am I getting correct muon counts with my two muon detectors at LRO in coincidence mode? Do other sources of muons affect the detectors from the ground and do we need to take account of these?
Dr Jonathan Lister: We do get upward directed muons their source being radioactivity from soil, rocks and building materials and once the gamma rays enter the scintillator they interact with…
