Recent Development to Track Contraband using Muon
Abstract: The muon is one of nature’s fundamental particles discovered in 1937 by Carl Anderson. A muon is an elementary subatomic particle similar to electron, but with a mass approximately 207 times greater and, sometimes it is called as a “heavy electron”. Muons are generated naturally when cosmic rays collide with atoms in earth’s upper atmosphere and, then raining down all the times upon the surface of earth. Muons can be …
