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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
…..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…
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…
