What is the link equation (also known as the link budget equation) and how does it apply to amateur radio astronomy?
When reading this post, also consider the comment made by Alex Pettit at the bottom of the post. The link equation can be written as: where: In free space, the…
What is the link equation (also known as the link budget equation)?
link equation In telecommunications, the link equation (or link budget) is a fundamental calculation used to determine whether a wireless signal will be received intelligibly. It evaluates signal strength by…
Can I use the PicoMuon muon detector from UKRAA stand alone without attached computer and of so how do I do it?
Yes. The UKRAA PicoMuon detector is designed to work as a completely standalone instrument and does not require a computer to detect or log events. The detector has its own…
Attractions in London for amateurs with interest in science and astronomy.
If you’re interested in science and astronomy in London, the two standout destinations are: 1. Science Museum Located in South Kensington, this is London’s premier science museum. Highlights include: The…
What is probability of scattering of muons with lead?
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…

The current Lidl ULTIMATE SPEED Portable Jump Starter With Power Bank battery specification is: For your PicoMuon, the important figure is the 6,650 mAh at 5 V, since that’s what…
Maximum airline power bank capacity to USA
For flights to the USA, the key limit is 100 watt-hours (Wh) per power bank without needing airline approval. Power banks between 101 Wh and 160 Wh usually require airline…
How many lithium ion power banks can I take with me on my USA trip to the SARA Easyern Conference in Green Bank Observatory West Virginia 1-6 August 2026?
For Lufthansa (and therefore also Air France / most EU–US routes under ICAO rules) the current rules are: ✔️ Power banks allowed Max 2 power banks per passenger Must be…
