Description
In recent years, our focus has been on developing new detection techniques that come with a segmentation of the detectors to measure individual muons. This aspect provides more detailed information about the direction and also about their number, offering better performance, greater efficiency compared to integration on large surfaces where optical signals are lost in the plastic scintillator.
In addition to the aspect related to the shape of the detector, we have implemented solutions for reading the scintillators that are compact, efficient and have low power consumption.
Thus, the detectors can provide the muon flux but also the direction of arrival due to the relatively high granularity for each detection plane.
Most detectors are based on SiPM and have relatively compact individual electronics, each channel having a preamplifier and a discriminator. Overall, we managed to have a detector that has a relatively large number of channels and consumes little, thus being able to be used in in situ measurements where energy resources are relatively low, being able to be used even on a battery and why not on a photovoltaic system.
