2024 JSA Postdoctoral Prize Winner Debaditya Biswas will combine different particle identification methods with machine learning to detect muons hidden in a sea of pions NEWPORT NEWS, VA – When ...
A recent study offers proof of feasibility for using cosmic radiation detectors to discover underground spaces. The detectors identify muons—particles created when cosmic radiation collides with Earth ...
Muons continually bombard the ground at a known rate and angular distribution. As muons lose energy when passing through matter, their flux is attenuated depending on the integrated density along ...
The Kukulkán pyramid in Chichén Itzá is scanned in a detailed search for hidden chambers, making sure not to damage the Mayan ...
Muon radiography and tomography are innovative non‐destructive imaging techniques that employ cosmic-ray muons to probe the internal structures of large objects, from ancient monuments to active ...
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 ...
When Debaditya Biswas was a high school student in India, his math teacher, Dr. Satyabrata Das, sparked his interest in physics. "Before I joined his class, I was really not sure what I was going to ...
