In a muon tomography detector, cosmic-ray muons interact with an object and strike scintillators that emit photons. Wavelength-shifting fibers transmit the photons to photodetectors that digitize the ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics. Every minute, countless muons rain down from space, passing through ...

Yoshiteru Maeno and Rustem Khasanov at the muon facility immediately after discovering that the previous measurement method had a pitfall. Kyoto, Japan -- Quantum materials and superconductors are ...
