What is probability of scattering of muons with lead?
Admin
For relativistic muons, the RMS multiple-scattering angle in lead is approximately: theta0 = (13.6 MeV / beta pc) * sqrt(x/X0) * where: Example: a 3 GeV muon passing through 1…
What % of muons survive to sea level?
Muons are created high in the atmosphere, typically at altitudes of about 10-15 km. Their mean lifetime at rest is only about 2.2 microseconds, so without relativistic effects almost none…
What is capacity of Lidl Supermarkets Ultimate speed jump starter with lithium ion power bank?

Death of LRO-H2 Solar Cooker Radio Telescope
…..or more accurately moth-balling = the six solar cooker petals might see the light of day again…..possibly….if one day I am in a forgiving mood. There is a story in…
“Cubesat in a Box” – design development as of 15 June 2026
So far, the design has developed as far as the use of an UKRAA PicoMuon muon detector and a power bank providing many hours of 5V power and ability to…
Ultimate speed power bank with compressor UPK 10 H5 from Lidl Supermarket, UK
15 June 2026: Purchased Lidl Ultimate speed power bank with compressor UPK 10 H5. Provides 5V and 12V outputs. Tests at LRO have shown the power bank remains switched on…
What are attachments for power banks that keep them always on called? I need an always on power bank to power my UKRAA PicoMuon muon detector during my trans-atlantic airflight of month for my altitude muon detection experiment
They’re usually called “keep-alive loads” or “dummy loads” (less commonly “load resistors”). In practice you’ll see them sold under a few more consumer-friendly names: What they do Most power banks…
Is there version software for stand-alone cosmicwatch v2 muon detector which allows data to be recorded on sd card at same time as displaying data on screen?
Yes — but with an important caveat: the stock CosmicWatch v2 firmware was not originally designed to reliably do full SD logging and OLED display updates “in parallel” without trade-offs,…
