Exploring the Relationship Between Muon Detection Rates and Atmospheric Pressure Using Cosmic Watch Detectors

This study explores how atmospheric pressure affects muon detection rates. By analyzing data from six Cosmic Watch detectors, we organized the collected information, examined the correlation between atmospheric pressure and muon detection rates, and addressed the timing discrepancies across detectors. Our findings show that muon detection rates decrease as atmospheric pressure rises. The study also improves time difference correction methods, providing new strategies and tools for detecting rare coincidence events recorded by multiple detectors.

Abstract

This study explores how atmospheric pressure affects muon detection rates. By analyzing data from six Cosmic Watch detectors, we organized the collected information, examined the correlation between atmospheric pressure and muon detection rates, and addressed the timing discrepancies across detectors. Our findings show that muon detection rates decrease as atmospheric pressure rises. The study also improves time difference correction methods, providing new strategies and tools for detecting rare coincidence events recorded by multiple detectors.
