Description
Atmospheric muons are important probes for studying primary cosmic rays and extensive air showers. Additionally, they constitute a significant background for many underground and deep-sea neutrino experiments, such as TRopIcal DEep-sea Neutrino Telescope (TRIDENT). Understanding the muon flux at various depths in the deep sea is essential for validating TRIDENT simulations and guiding the development of optimized trigger strategies. This poster introduces MuonSLab, a novel device based on plastic scintillators and silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). Designed to measure muon flux in the deep sea, MuonSLab also has the potential to be extended to other atmospheric muon property measurements. We discuss the design and instrumentation of MuonSLab and present results from several muon flux measurements. These results demonstrate the detector’s sensitivity to muon detection and its stability during marine operations across multiple locations.
