Atmospheric Muons Measured with IceCube [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 IceCube is a cubic-kilometer Cherenkov detector in the deep ice at the geographic South Pole. The dominant event yield is produced by penetrating atmospheric muons with energies above several 100 GeV.

Seasonal variations of the rate of multiple-muons in the Gran Sasso underground laboratory [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 It is well known that the rate of cosmic ray muons depends on the atmospheric temperature, and that for events with a single muon the peak of the rate is in summer, in underground laboratories in the northern hemisphere.

Muons, mutations, and planetary shielding
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Life on earth is protected from astrophysical cosmic rays by the heliospheric magnetic and slowly varying geomagnetic fields, and by collisions with oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere.

Highly Efficient Small Anode Ion Source
Plasma, 2021 We describe some modifications to a Bernas-type ion source that improve the ion beam production efficiency and source operating lifetime. The ionization efficiency of a Bernas type ion source has been improved by using a small anode that is a thin rod ...

Studying ΔL = 2 Lepton Flavor Violation with Muons
Universe, 2022 Flavor violating processes in the lepton sector have highly suppressed branching ratios in the standard model. Thus, observation of lepton flavor violation (LFV) constitutes a clear indication of physics beyond the standard model (BSM).

Towards a New μ→eγ Search with the MEG II Experiment: From Design to Commissioning
Universe, 2021 The MEG experiment represents the state of the art in the search for the Charged Lepton Flavour Violating μ+→e+γ decay. With its first phase of operations at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), MEG set the most stringent upper limit on the BR (μ+→e+γ)≤4.2 ...
