In this thesis, I designed and constructed a basic Cerenkov detector to measure the energy spectrum of cosmic ray muons for use in the graduate experimental physics courses, 8.811/2. The apparatus consists of a light-tight central volume with a phototube to detect the Cerenkov radiation of muons whose speed is higher than the speed of light in the medium with which the volume is filled. The measurement is triggerd by coincidence in scintillating detectors above and below the volume. I constructed a signal chain for measurement, collected data for muon energies with the goal of constructing the muon energy spectrum from different Cerenkov spectra. In the range 20-100 GeV, the spectrum is found to obey a power law with exponent -a = -2.90 t .04, which compares well to the value of -2.844 found in the literature. In addition, calculations and considerations were made to aid in the use of this apparatus in a pedagogical manner.

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis is dedicated towards the creation of a new direction-sensitive tool for muon flux measurement based on a thin time projection chamber with a Micromegas readout, to achieve a compact detector with an angular resolution compatible with civil engineering and geophysics imagery and monitoring applications. The main motivation is to develop a detector capable to fill the technological gap for applications with compactness and transportability constraints. The dissertation provides a review of the different existing muon detection technologies and their diverse fields of application. Two muon imaging techniques are introduced: transmission and scattering muography. Transmission muography, more suitable for big targets, is based on the attenuation of the natural-occurring cosmic-muon flux due to the opacity of the material they traverse. This non-destructive, passive technique provides original information that can be used for imaging purposes. The work covers the methodology used towards the characterization of the incidental muon flux both on the surface and in underground conditions. A detailed description of the physical processes triggered by the passage of a muon through the detector is provided. Results of the simulations of the signal formation processes are presented and discussed to justify the design choices of the key components so as to meet performance requirements in term of temporal, spatial and angular resolution. The influence of operational or external parameters such as the gain, temperature or presence of contaminants is covered as well. The thesis describes in detail the principal phases of design and assembly of the MUST2 detector, including: (i) the design of the Micromegas readout layout, (ii) the choice of gas, (iii) the conception of an electric field homogenizer, (iv) the choice of the electronics instrumentation and its trigger signal, and (v) the creation of an auxiliary system to manage the gas. The versatility of MUST2 has been proved with the successful use of different trigger options and electronics. The data is acquired by means of software developed for the CERN’s Scalable Readout System electronics and subsequently analyzed with a muon trajectory reconstruction algorithm, which retrieves the: time of passage, 2D position, zenith and azimuth angles of the muons traversing the detector. The characteristics, performance and limitations of the data acquisition chain are presented and evaluated, a series of guidelines towards the improvement of its efficiency of are provided. A series of characterization tests has been carried out in different environments: controlled muon beam, open sky, at the bottom of a valley and in underground conditions. These tests have enabled a better understanding of the performance of the detector and allowed to tune up its operational parameters. Despite the weak statistics of the test runs, the measured muon flux has shown a good correlation with the surrounding target volumes. A campaign of measurements in real field conditions has been carried out at the Saint-Saturnin-les-Apt (Vaucluse, France) dam. The experimental results obtained are in consonance with the values anticipated by the digital model, the field transportability and the capability to perform long-term out-of-lab measurements have been demonstrated. On the downside, the impact of the external temperature on the data acquisition should be balanced out to get a steady acquisition and monitor the temporal evolution of the muon flux. In conclusion, the successful proof-of-concept trial allows to validate the MUST2 camera for transmission muography purposes

Повний текст джерелаObserváveis sensíveis à composição de raios cósmicos primários em chuveiros atmosféricos extensos são um recurso valioso na constrição de cenários competidores em astrofísica e física de partículas, propostos tanto para explicar características dos raios cósmicos, como o espectro de energia de todas as partículas, quanto sua origem. Estes observáveis, no entanto, precisam ser interpretados por comparação a simulações de chuveiros atmosféricos, que constituem fonte de grandes incertezas. Simulações de chuveiros são dependentes de uma técnica chamada thinning, um algoritmo criado para reduzir o tempo de computação e exigências de armazenamento. Neste trabalho, nós avaliamos os efeitos do thinning sobre o perfil de produção de múons em uma simulação de chuveiro atmosférico. Para partículas mais pesadas, aparentemente, chuveiros sujeitos ao thinning geram perfis com máximos mais profundos, e para prótons e fótons nossas análises foram inconclusivas. Nós investigamos a técnica do thinning construindo um simulador de chuveiros simplificado, em que o total controle sobre a implementação do thinning é garantido. Para este fim, parametrizamos a distribuição de energia e a multiplicidade de partículas em interações de próton com o ar e de píons com o ar. Entretanto, descobrimos que o efeito do thinning sobre o nosso modelo era muito severo, tornando impossível concluir seus efeitos sobre simulações completas.

The next generation of nuclear fission reactor based neutrino experiments seeking to measure the Theta-13 mixing angle rely upon measurements made by detectors placed close to the reactor, and therefore less shielded from cosmic ray muons by the earth. 9Li production in liquid scintillator by these cosmic ray muons becomes a serious problem for these experiments that must be dealt with since the 9Li production rate is still a significant fraction of the neutrino interaction rate. This 9Li background reduces the experiment’s sensitivity to measure the Theta-13 mixing angle. This thesis discusses a small detector designed to measure the 9Li production rate in liquid scintillator at the earth’s surface by cosmic ray muons. The detector was designed, built, and finally, calibrated. The ability to find the signals necessary to actually measure the 9Li production rate is shown, establishing that this detector will be able to measure the production rate. A 90% significance level upper limit for the 9Li-like production rate, based on only 3.5 days worth of data, is reported as 213 9Li-like events per day per ton.

Several analysis can be performed using atmospheric muons produced in chain reactions caused by a cosmic ray particle. We can study the muon flux for different parameterizations of the atmosphere, the moon and sun shadowing effect, the muon charge ratio, etc. In this work, we are interested in the atmospheric muon charge ratio (rμ = Nμ+/Nμ−). This ratio has been observed by several experiments, for different energy ranges. The MINOS experiment has determined the muon charge ratio (rμ) in the GeV energy scale using the Near Detector and in the TeV energy scale using the Far Detector. This experiment has observed an increase of the muon charge ratio from 1.27 to 1.37 when the energy of the primary particle changed from ∼ 100 GeV to ∼ 1 TeV. This fact can be explained by the properties of the pions ( ) and the kaons (K). For higher energies, around 10 TeV, the decay of charming hadrons becomes important as a source of atmospheric leptons. Investigating the parameterization given by the Gaisser equation in order to study the intensity of positive and negative muons separately, it is possible to obtain the equation of the pion-kaon ( K) model. Using this model it was made an adjust with the of MINOS Near and Far Detector data, finding the f and fK parameters. These parameters are the fractions that contribute to the production of positive muons coming from de e K, respectively. The experimental values obtained were: f = 0.55 and fK = 0.70. In this work we simulated extensive air showers using the CORSIKA code. Different models that describe the hadronic interactions for high energy particles were used. Our goal was to verify if the models could reproduce the increase of muon charge ratio. This increase is associated with physics involving pion and kaon decays. We found the following parameters: f = 0.547 ± 0.003 and fK = 0.64 ± 0.02 for the QGSJET 01C model, f = 0.604 ± 0.003 and fK = 0.73 ± 0.02 for the SIBYLL model, f = 0.572 ± 0.003 and fK = 0.70 ± 0.02 for the VENUS model, f = 0.545 ± 0.004 and fK = 0.62 ± 0.03 for the QGSJETII model and f = 0.570 ± 0.003 and fK = 0.65 ± 0.02 for the DPMJET model. The increase of the muon charge ratio found in the MINOS data was 7.8%. In our simulation we found an increase of 3.2%, 8.3%, 5.7%, %4.0 and 2.5% for each one of the models, respectively. With these results, it was possible to observe that simulation models also show a significant increase of ratio, when we moved from scale GeV scale for TeV. And of course, this increase is characterized by properties of pions and kaons noting that physics is considered by the codes of models.
Várias análises podem ser feitas a partir de múons atmosféricos produzidos na reação em cadeia provocada por uma partícula de raio cósmico, como o estudo do fluxo de múons para diferentes parametrizações da atmosfera, da sombra da lua e do sol, da razão da carga entre múons atmosféricos. Neste trabalho estamos interessados na razão da carga entre múons atmosféricos (rμ = Nμ+/Nμ−). Essa razão foi determinada por diversos experimentos, para diferentes intervalos de energias. Especificamente, o experimento MINOS determinou a razão (rμ) na escala GeV com o Near Detector e na escala TeV com o Far Detector. Esse experimento observou um aumento da razão de 1,27 para 1,37 com o aumento da energia de ∼100 GeV para ∼ 1 TeV. O aumento dessa razão pode ser entendido a partir das propriedades dos píons ( ) e káons (K). Para energias maiores, cerca de 10 TeV, o decaimento de hádrons charmosos torna-se importante como fonte de léptons atmosféricos. Investigando a parametrização dada pela equação de Gaisser para estudar separadamente a intensidade dos múons positivos e negativos, é possível chegar na equação do modelo píon-káon ( K). Utilizando este modelo, foi feito um ajuste com os dados do MINOS Near e Far Detector, encontrando os parâmetros f e fK. Esses parâmetros são as frações que contribuem para a produção de múons positivos vindos de e K, respectivamente. Os valores experimentais encontrados foram: f = 0,55 e fK = 0,70. Neste trabalho simulamos chuveiros atmosféricos com o código CORSIKA. Diferentes modelos de interações hadrônicas de altas energias foram utilizados. O objetivo foi verificar se os modelos conseguiriam reproduzir o aumento da razão da carga de múons entre GeV e TeV. Esse aumento está associado à física envolvida no decaimento dos píons e káons. Encontramos os seguintes parâmetros: f = 0,550 ± 0,006 e fK = 0,61±0,03 para o modelo QGSJET 01C, f = 0,611±0,004 e fK = 0,67±0,02 para o modelo SIBYLL, f = 0,571 ± 0,005 e fK = 0,70 ± 0,03 para o modelo VENUS, f = 0,547±0,006 e fK = 0,61±0,04 para o modelo QGSJETII e para o modelo DPMJET, f = 0,574±0,004 e fK = 0,63±0,02. O aumento da razão para os dados do experimento MINOS foi de 7,8%; para a nossa simulação o aumento foi de 3,2%; 8,3%; 5,7%; 2,4% e 2,9%; respectivamente. Com esses resultados, foi possível observar que os modelos de simulação também evidenciam um aumento significativo da razão, quando passamos da escala GeV para escala TeV. Esse aumento é caracterizado pelas propriedades dos píons e káons, constatando que essa física é considerada pelos códigos dos modelos.

Resumo: O estudo da radiação cósmica é de extrema importância para a astrofísica. Partículas oriundas de diferentes locais, tanto do sistema solar, quanto fora dele, chegam constantemente à Terra, carregando muitas informações a respeito da sua origem. Quando essas partículas encontram a atmosfera terrestre da-se início a uma cascata de partículas secundárias resultantes da interação do raio cósmico primário com a atmosfera. Dessa chuva de partículas secundárias, os múons são as partículas carregadas mais abundantes que chegam à superfície da Terra. Múons são altamente penetrantes, o que pode representar um problema muito grande em ex- perimentos, mesmo que subterrâneos, de outras partículas. Devido ao seu grande número, eles se tornam extremamente necessários em reconstruções de chuveiros atmosféricos para obtenção de informações a respeito da partícula primária. Tendo conhecimento de suas características, como por exemplo fluxo, ruídos em experimentos podem ser tratados e outros estudos podem ser otimizados. A intensidade de múons na superfície terrestre é bem conhecida como sendo anisotrópica e com uma dependência do ângulo zenital da forma ? (?) = ?0?osn(?). Por simplicidade nos cálculos, este expoente n é freqüentemente utilizado com valor igual a 2, mas estudos mostram que este parâmetro possui dependência com a posição geográfica e com a faixa de energia dos múons em questão. Esta dissertação propõe um método simples para a precisa determinação do expoente n e da intensidade vertical de múons simultaneamente, que pode ser realizado de maneira rá- pida em qualquer laboratório de raios cósmicos, utilizando detectores de partículas, que juntos formam o chamado Telescópio de Múons. Como resultado da aplicação do método no Laboratório de Léptons em Campinas - SP, foi obtido um valor de n de aproximadamente 2.30 e um valor para a intensidade vertical de múons em torno de 146.40? z/m2sr. Dados muito satisfatórios e de acordo com outros experimentos semelhantes já realizados anteriormente no Laboratório. O método também foi aplicado no Fermilab, localizado nos Estados Unidos. Nesta outra loca- lização geográfica, os resultados diferiram bastante dos obtidos em Campinas, com n aproxima- damente 3.66 e intensidade vertical de múons em torno de 158.33 ? zm-2sr-1. O mesmo experimento com o telescópio será realizado em outras posições geográficas afim de se verificar o comportamento do expoente n e da intensidade vertical de múons em diferentes locais
Abstract: The study of cosmic radiation is of utmost importance to astrophysics. Particles from different locations, from inside the solar system, and outside it, constantly arrive on Earth, carrying a lot of information about its origin. When these particles arrives to Earth¿s atmosphere they initiate a cascade of secondary particles resulting from the interaction of the primary cosmic ray with the atmosphere. From this rain of secondary particles, muons are the most abundant charged particles that reach the Earth¿s surface.Muons are highly penetrating, which can be a very big problem in some experiments, even if underground, of other particles. Because of their large number, they become extremely necessary in reconstructions of air showers to obtain information about the primary particle. Having knowledge of its characteristics, such as flux and distribution, noise in some experiments can be treated and other studies can be optimized.Muon intensity in the Earth¿s surface is well known to be anisotropic and has dependence on the zenith angle of ? (?) = ?0 cosn(?). For simplicity in the calculations, this n exponent is often used with a value of 2, but studies show that this parameter has dependence on the geographical position and on the energy range of muons in question. This dissertation proposes a simple method for accurate determination of the exponent n and muon vertical intensity simultaneously, that can be determined quickly in any laboratory cosmic rays using a particle detector, which was called Muon Telescope. As a result of the application of the method on the Leptons Laboratory, in Campinas - SP - Brazil, the value for n that was obtained is about 2.30 and a value for the vertical intensity of muons around 146.40? z/m2sr. This data is very satisfactory and according to similar experiments previously conducted at the Laboratory.This method was applied on Fermilab, located at the United States. On this new geographical location, the results were different from that obtained at Campinas, with n about 3.66 and the vertical intensity around 158.33 ? zm-2sr-1.The same experiment with the telescope will be held in other geographical locations in order to check the n exponent behavior and the muon intensity at different locations

Повний текст джерелаThis study concerns the domain of the microelectronics. It consists in the studyof the impact of the 3D morphology of the energy deposit on the Single EventEffect (SEE) modeling, induced by atmospheric muons. Over a first phase, theapproach has consisted in the modeling of the energy deposit induced by protonsin nanometric volumes. For that purpose the use of the Monte Carlo code GEANT4has allowed to simulate and stock in a database the tracks characteristics of theenergy deposit induced by protons. Once the approach validated for the protons,simulations of the energy deposit induced by muons have been realized. A CCDcamera has been used in order to measure the radiative atmospheric environmentand to constrain the modeling of the energy deposit induced by muons. This studyhighlights and quantify the contribution of the radial distribution of the energydeposit incuced by protons in nanometric volumes for the SEE prediction. On theother hand, the study shows that the contribution of the radial distribution of theenergy deposit induced by muons in nanometric volumes has a negligeable impacton the SEE modeling.

Resumo: O Observatório Pierre Auger foi construído para detectar raios cósmicos de altas energias. Um dos principais objetivos das pesquisas realizadas pelo Observatório Auger, é o estudo da composição de massa dos raios cósmicos primários. O conteúdo muônico dos chuveiros atmosféricos extensos, produzidos a partir das interações dessas partículas primárias no alto da atmosfera, é um dos parâmetros mais sensíveis para o estudo da composição de massa. Ao nível do solo, as partículas detectadas com os 1600 tanques Cherenkov, que constituem o detector de superfície do Observatório, são essencialmente uma mistura de fótons, elétrons e pósitrons, que formam a componente eletromagnética; e os múons da componente muônica dos chuveiros extensos. A contribuição relativa dessas componentes depende do estágio de desenvolvimento do chuveiro e da distância radial ao eixo do mesmo. Nas regiões mais afastadas do eixo do chuveiro, num determinado estagio de seu desenvolvimento, um chuveiro iniciado por um núcleo de ferro, pode sob as mesmas condições que um chuveiro com primário de próton, induzir até 40% mais múons. Um dos métodos possíveis para estimar a contribuição muônica é o uso da estrutura temporal do sinal Cherenkov no detector de superfície. Esses sinais digitalizados em FADCs, mostram que múons induzem picos de sinais acima de um contínuo eletromagnético formado de pequenos picos. De forma que essa estrutura de sinal característica das componentes dependem da distância radial ao eixo do chuveiro. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo contribuir para a identificação e discriminação das componentes muônicas e eletromagnética dos chuveiros, a partir de um desenvolvimento matemático sobre o método de análise ¿Muon Jump¿. O método de jumps é baseado nas estruturais temporais dos sinais das componentes registrados pelos tanques Cherenkov do Observatório Auger e digitalizados em unidades FADCs. Usando essa característica estrutura temporal dos sinais, poderemos estimar o sinal de cada componente, definindo filtros de separação nas distribuições temporais dos sinais das frentes dos chuveiros e nas distribuições das derivadas desses sinais. Partindo dos diferentes sinais depositados por múons e partículas eletromagnéticas nos tanques Cherenkov, fizemos um estudo de contaminação desse sinal muônico pela componente eletromagnética, de forma individual e em frentes de chuveiros atmosféricos. Com isso, definimos o conceito de um filtro a ser aplicado nas distribuições de sinais, que nos permitisse separar de forma eficiente os sinais produzidos pelas partículas
Abstract: The Pierre Auger Observatory was built to detect high-energy cosmic rays. Studies of the mass composition of the highest energy cosmic rays is a major focus of research developed by the Pierre Auger Observatory. The muon content of the extensive air showers produced from the interactions of these primary particles with the atmosphere, is one of the most sensitive parameters to the mass composition. At the ground level, the detected particles by the Surface Detector of the Auger Observatory consists of 1660 water-Cherenkov detectors, are essentially a mixture of photons, electrons and positrons, the electromagnetic component, and muons, the muonic component. The relative contribution of these components depends on the stage developmental stage and on the radial distance of the showers. Far enough from the shower axis at a given development stage, a shower initiated by a iron primary may induce up to 40% more muons than a proton primary under the same conditions. The time structure of the Cherenkov signal profile in the surface detectors of particles reaching ground is used to estimate the muonic contribution. The Cherenkov signals are digitized as FADCs traces, and show that muons induce peaks signal above a continuous electromagnetic formed of small peaks. So this characteristic structure of the muonic and eletromagnetic peaks depend on the radial distance from the shower axis. The goals of my work is to contribute to the identification and discrimination of the eletromagnetic and muonic components, from a mathematical model to apply filters in the signal distributions of the particles. This method is based on the Jump method. Using the detailed time structure of signs, we can estimate the sign of each component, defining a set of separation filters to make an efficient selection of the muonic signal. The different signals deposited by muons and electromagnetic particles in Cherenkov tanks, allowed us to study the electromagnetic contamination in individual muonic signals and in the showers fronts

Resumo: Neste trabalho o programa CORSIKA foi utilizado para gerar eventos de colisão próton-próton e chuveiros atmosféricos extensos com partícula primária sendo próton ou ferro. Como modelo de interações hadrônicas usou-se o EPOS LHC, QGSJET 01c, QGSJET II-4 e SIBYLL 2,1. As colisões p-p foram simuladas com energia igual a 7 TeV no referencial centro de momenta e foi estudada a distribuição de multiplicidade de hádrons carregados e a densidade em pseudorapidez. Comparando estes observáveis com dados do CMS escolheu-se os modelos que melhor reproduzissem os dados para posteriormente, simular chuveiros atmosféricos extensos. Estes chuveiros foram gerados com partícula primária de energia igual a 1019eV no referencial do laboratório. Observou-se a densidade de múons na altitude do Detetor de Superfície do Observatório de raios cósmicos Pierre Auger. O objetivo é estudar a possibilidade de usar esta densidade para sondar modelos de interações hadrônicas e identificar a partícula primária dos eventos detetados pelo Observatório Pierre Auger

The hadronic interaction models used was EPOS LHC, QGSJET 01c, QGSJET II-4 and SIBYLL 2,1. The p-p collisions were simulated with energy equal to 7 TeV in the center of momenta reference system and the charged hadron multiplicity and the pseudorapidity density was studied. Comparing this with data collected by the CMS detector at the LHC it was chosen the best models to generate air showers. The extensive air showers were generated with primary particle energy equal to 1019 eV in the laboratory frame. It was observed the muon density in the altitude of the Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory. The objective is to study the possibility of using this density to probe the model and the primary particle of the events detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory

Objetos celestes como a Lua e o Sol bloqueiam os raios cósmicos que vem de suas direções para a Terra, produzindo um défcit chamado de sombra. A medida deste défcit possibilita a determinação da resolução angular e do alinhamento de detectores de raios cósmicos, o estudo dos campos magnéticos terrestre, solar e interplanetário e a determinação da razão antipróton/próton na escala de energia TeV. Vários experimentos já observaram a sombra de raios cósmicos da Lua e/ou do Sol com o objetivo de calibrar seus detectores. Descrevemos neste trabalho o experimento MINOS e seus resultados da sombra da Lua e do Sol. Simulamos a sombra da Lua levando em conta seu movimento no céu e, para tanto, de nimos e testamos métodos de simulação e diferentes composições para os raios cósmicos. Também avaliamos várias proporções para antiprótons no fluxo de raios cósmicos a m de comparar com os resultados do experimento MINOS e conjecturar uma possível razão p=p para os dados observados. Ambos os métodos que de nimos, método do dé cit e da fonte de raios cósmicos, permitiram uma análise qualitativa da sombra. No entanto, só foi possível realizar uma análise quantitativa na simulação tendo a Lua como um défcit. Dessa forma, adotamos este método para as simulações subsequentes. Notamos algumas diferenças para as sombras obtidas usando próton e núcleo de hélio como partículas primárias de raios cósmicos. Todavia, a sombra encontrada combinando prótons (90%) e núcleos de hélio (10%) foi semelhante à sombra obtida apenas para prótons. Na simulação incluindo o movimento da Lua, avaliamos os efeitos do campo geomagnético na partícula primária, desde a Lua até a atmosfera terrestre, e nos múons (partícula secundária) desde sua produção até o nível do mar. Como esperado, obtivemos uma sombra da Lua mais similar com os resultados do experimento MINOS ao incluir a de exão tanto das partículas primárias dos raios cósmicos quanto das partículas do chuveiro do que considerando apenas o desvio destas últimas. Nossa simulação foi capaz de reproduzir a sombra provocada pela Lua com a localização do maior dé cit comparável àquela encontrada pelo experimento MINOS. Entretanto, ainda acrescentamos núcleos de hélio e antiprótons na simulação incluindo o movimento da Lua com o objetivo de melhorar o resultado. Obtivemos um défcit localizado o mais próximo possível do obtido pelo experimento MINOS usando a proporção p=p = 0;45. Tal resultado deve ser melhor estudado e a simulação aprimorada para que se determine esta razão entre antiprótons e prótons com a precisão adequada.

Повний текст джерелаDuring the past century, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR), those with an energy larger than 1018 eV, remain as a mystery: What are cosmic rays? Where do they come from? How do they attain their huge energy? When these charged particles strike the earth's atmosphere, they dissipate their energy by generating a shower of secondary particles whose development is significantly different depending on the nature of the primaries. The Pierre Auger observatory, with its hybrid structure and huge size network of ground detectors, can shed some light into these questions.The study of the composition of UHECR was performed with the Pierre Auger apparatus. This is crucial both to understand the hadronic interactions, which govern the evolution of showers, and to identify their sources. It can help to understand the origin of the energy spectrum cut-off: is it the GZK cut-off or the exhaustion of sources? These reasons motivate the first part of this thesis: the development of a method to extract the muonic component of air showers and deduce the implications on the composition of UHECR at the Pierre Auger observatory. The results of this method show a dependence of the composition with the distance to the axis of the shower, which could help to improve the hadronic models. The determination of the muon component is limited by the surface detector setup.The second part is devoted to the new observatory in China, LHAASO. This project focuses on the study of gamma rays with an energy higher than 30 TeV, which probe the acceleration of protons in the galaxy, providing indirect information on cosmic rays. Moreover, the observatory studies cosmic rays between 10 TeV and 1 EeV, one of the regions where the energy spectrum presents a break. This region requires the ability to discriminate gamma rays and cosmic rays. For this reason, one of the detectors of LHAASO, the KM2A, was simulated and its power of discrimination gamma/hadron evaluated

Повний текст джерелаOs raios cósmicos são as partículas mais energéticas do universo. Sua produção, propagação e detecção são objetos de estudos. Os detectores de superfície têm como objetivo identificar partículas dos chuveiros atmosféricos extensos (EAS), o qual é o resultado das interações do raio cósmico com a atmosfera. A Câmaras de Placas Resistivas (RPCs) demonstra ser um detector de múons adequado para ser integrado ao Observatório Pierre Auger. Foi desenvolvida em São Carlos (BRA) uma instrumentação para montagem de RPCs. Dados de RPCs já construídas por nossos colaboradores em Coimbra (POR) foram analisados. A eficiência dos detectores para múons foi calculada como sendo de aproximadamente 88%, o que está de acordo com os valores citados na literatura. Mapas de direção foram construídos para investigar a direção de chegada e a quantidade de matéria atravessada pelos múons. A dependência do fluxo de múons com o ângulo zenital foi comparada com os resultados da simulação. Embora uma dependência com o quadrado do cosseno é esperada, foi constatado que a estrutura do prédio tem matéria suficiente para bloquear parte dos múons incidentes e alterar a curva da dependência. O fluxo total de múons foi estimado baseado nas eficiências do detector e no ângulo sólido é de 1.6.10−5 mm−2.sr−1.s−1. Comparado com o valor da literatura de 7.1.10−5 mm−2.sr−1.s−1 resulta em uma absorção pelo prédio de aproximadamente 77% do fluxo de múons.

We use the quarknet muon detector to measure the muon lifetime and flux. The detector is made by Fermilab, USA. In the muon lifetime study, we find the results in our lab are similar as the PDG world average, ~2.2 micro seconds. One day, we take the detector to Yu-San mountain and repeat the muon lifetime data taking. We find that the muon lifetime is too small. We wonder that some other high energy charged pion particles may affect our results. In the flux study, we find that the flux would become smaller while the angle between the scintillator plane and the horizontal increases. The behavior can be described by the cosine square function. Besides, the flux in the higher story is larger than that in the lower story. The quarknet project in Taiwan becomes better and better this year. We hope to distribute the knowledge of cosmic ray related issues to high school students and teachers. Hopefully, this thesis would help people to learn this.
