a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), a main circuit board which does signal amplification and peak detection among other things, and an Arduino nano. As a muon passes through the scintillating ...

Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) and the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) have developed a novel top ...

In lieu of spending a fair bit of money on dedicated muon detectors, you can also hack such a device together with two Geiger-Müller tubes and related circuitry for about $100 or whatever you can ...

While some well-documented designs are available for low-cost muon detectors (in particular, the Cosmic Watch project from MIT), I decided to pursue a simpler—and slightly cheaper—approach.
