MUON DETECTOR WITH GEIGER TUBES |
MUON DETECTOR WITH GEIGER MÜLLER TUBESHere we have the first working muon detector designed and built by cosmicrays.org, a subsidiary of Captain's Universe.It is a combination of 2 Geiger Detector with LED, SCR without low voltage supply and one Coincidence Detector for the Geiger SCR Detector both developed by cosmicrays.org with the "low-part-count" philosophy in mind. 
The two red LED's show flashing of each Geiger tube, and if the green LED flashes a muon was detected. It is easy to show that, if the green LED flashes it is actually a muon coming from above: If the tubes are aligned horizontally (i.e. side-by-side) the green LED doesn't flash, but as soon as the Geiger tubes are aligned vertically (i.e. above each other) the green LED flashes every now and then. This is a clear sign that something from above is detected and this "something" can only be muons, since Geiger tubes don't detect other particles produced during cosmic ray showers.
