摘要:

在这篇文章中,从一系列的μ子通量测量结果进行了金巴顿地下研究设施(KURF),弗吉尼亚州,美国,介绍。用于这些调查的探测器,是由塑料闪烁棒读出波长漂移光纤和多阳极光电倍增管。数据是在KURF内部的几个地点采集的,覆盖层岩石值从约200 m.w.e.到1450 m.w.e.。从提取的μ介子率的经验公式设计,估计μ介子通量内的矿山作为覆盖层的函数。结果与基于解析模型和MUSIC的μ子通量计算结果吻合良好。

英文摘要:

In this article, the results from a series of muon flux measurements conducted at the Kimballton Underground Research Facility (KURF), Virginia, United States, are presented. The detector employed for these investigations, is made of plastic scintillator bars readout by wavelength shifting fibers and multianode photomultiplier tubes. Data was taken at several locations inside KURF, spanning rock overburden values from ~ 200 to 1450 m.w.e. From the extracted muon rates an empirical formula was devised, that estimates the muon flux inside the mine as a function of the overburden. The results are in good agreement with muon flux calculations based on analytical models and MUSIC.
