This week, a new technology was tested in Jõgisoo, Harju County, as part of a nearly €1.3 million research project. Using ...

I hadn't either until I stumbled upon this awesome project! Now I can detect and count these cosmic particles from my desktop - and you can too.

Muons are an elementary particle in the SM that have a half-integer spin, and are similar to electrons, but are some 207 times heavier. Muons interact directly with other SM particles via ...

Muons are similar to electrons — the tiny particles that zip around atomic nuclei — but are 200 times more massive; hence their nickname, "fat electrons." These fat electrons can penetrate ...

As they collide with nuclei in our atmosphere, pions and kaons are produced, and the pions then decay into muons. These muons are similar to electrons, having a +1 or -1 charge, but with 200 ...

Muons are sub-atomic particles similar to electrons. The main difference is their mass; a muon is 200 times heavier than an ...

But by using muons, a type of elementary particle that can pass through glass and other materials, researchers “saw through” the 3-millimeter-thick glass and confirmed that the white power ...

If a cosmic neutrino reacts with the atomic nuclei of the seawater, muons can be produced. Muons are heavier than electrons but also carry a simple negative charge. The muon acquires so much kinetic ...

Once again, this seems to favour annihilations that proceed largely to electrons, muons or taus. Finally, to produce these signals, the dark matter must annihilate at a rate hundreds or thousands ...
